Brahms-Schoenberg - Piano Quartet (orchestrated) - Tilson Thomas

"Schoenberg explained his reasons for choosing this work for his arrangement in a letter to Alfred Frankenstein, music critic for The San Francisco Chronicle, in March of 1939:

'My reasons: I like the piece.

It is seldom played.

It is always very badly played, because, the better the pianist, the louder he plays and you hear nothing from the strings. I wanted once to hear everything, and this I achieved.

My intentions: To remain strictly in the style of Brahms and not to go farther than he himself would have gone if he lived today.

To watch carefully all the laws to which Brahms obeyed and not to violate them, which are only known to musicians educated in his environment.'"

These notes were edited, amended, and otherwise improved by Eric Kujawsky, Peter Stahl, and Doug Wyatt. (more: see here)
