Brahms' cello sonatas are probably amongst the most beautiful that have ever been written for this instrument. The publication of the two works in the new Brahms Complete Edition has prompted a new Urtext edition of the Sonata in F major: This classic work (to date HN 19) has now been newly engraved and reflects current scholarly findings. Johannes Behr has also provided extensive details regarding its genesis and the edition. Both the piano and cello parts have fingerings, but there is also an unmarked part for the cello.
