The String Sextets Nos. 1 and 2, composed in 1860 and 1864 were instrumental in cementing the composer's reputation, and they epitomize the melodic richness and compositional craftsmanship that would define all his chamber music. The first is full of life and colour; the second, with its beautiful Poco adagio at its heart, captures a characteristic chiaroscuro of texture and colour so typical of Brahms.
