Johannes Brahms
Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major, Op. 78, often referred to as the "Regen" or "Rain Sonata," is a notable work in the violin and piano chamber music repertoire. Composed in 1878, this sonata is admired for its lyricism and melodic richness. Its nickname "Regen" is derived from the gentle and continuous rain-like patterns in the first movement. This sonata, with its three movements, showcases Brahms' gift for crafting expressive and emotionally resonant music and remains a beloved piece among violinists and chamber music enthusiasts.

Based on his song for voice and piano titled "Regenlied," Johannes Brahms's first sonata for violin captures the experience of a nostalgic older man remembering but never fully recreating the varied memories of many bygone decades. With the masterful pedagogical prose of Stefan Jackiw, you'll be swept through the meaning of this delicately balanced work and learn how to convey the proper character through sound, attention to technique, and phrasing.
