Brahm's German Requiem--need a bit of info.
on: September 16, 2005, 09:52:10 PM
Does anyone know the key and time signature of the THIRD movement of Brahm's
Ein deutsches Requiem (German Requiem)??  I sure could use it.  Thanks in advance.

EDIT:  And the tempo marking if one is given.  Thanks

funny, i had just gotten that out to possibly play through, and now i can't find it.  and, i can't remember the key of 3rd mov't.  beautiful requiem.  maybe somewhere on the internet?  you know occidental college has some cool stuff on their site.  of course, out here on the east coast if i knew how to access stuff a julliard and penn state better, i'd be doing that.

d minor.   (i was guessing F major or d minor in my head, yaah)  sometimes it seems he alternates.  and in the second movement he sort of goes into an alternate phyrygian mode with the C-flats (interpolating it with minor key).

brahms was very progressive and schoenberg wrote a paper on him in 1950 titled "Brahms the Progressive."  i think i saw something when i googled schoenberg and  brahms.
