Brahms famously described this piece as "certainly not difficult to play", and while easier than some of his other very challenging works, it is still a quality performance piece. The SONATA NO 1 is written as a solo with more of a duet feel between the cello and piano, creating a beautiful interweaving of harmony and melody. This piece written in three movements shows Brahms' influence by Bach in it's more classical and structured style. A beautiful selection to add to any cellist's repertoire.
