The two sonatas Op. 120, composed in 1894 and dedicated to the clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld, stem from a period in Brahms’s life where he “discovered” the beauty of the sound and color of the clarinet. Prior to these works, the form of the clarinet sonata was largely undeveloped. The last chamber pieces Brahms wrote before his death, they considered two of the great masterpieces in the clarinet repertoire.
