Brahms' two clarinet sonatas, Op.120 were among the final pieces he wrote, and both demonstrate his mature mastery of chamber writing. Brahms later transcribed the solo parts for viola, while the piano parts stayed the same hence these accompaniment tracks work equally well for either instrument. The second sonata is in E flat major and takes around 21 minutes to perform.
