Brahms

Symphony No. 2, Mvt. II

Taught by renowned cellist 

Eric Kim

This movement is perhaps the most classic slow excerpt from the entire orchestral literature. In this lesson, we learn how to create a long legato line, which is a hallmark of a successful Brahms interpretation. We also learn about producing a continuous, warm, generous vibrato to create the special sound world of this music.
