Abstract
This chapter discusses Johannes Brahms' string chamber music. Brahms' seven chamber works for strings alone fall neatly into three categories according to chronology and genre. They reflect the gradual changes evident in their composer's style at significant stages in his compositional development: the two sextets stem from his “first maturity,” the three string quartets represent what might be called a “high maturity” that flourished in Brahms' early Viennese years, and the two string quintets demonstrate a “late” style developing in the 1880s and 1890s. The chapter then looks at the connections between Brahms's systematic exploration of these genres and the audiences he chose to address in them.
