Abstract

This project contains a transcription of Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25 for wind band. The dissertation project includes documentation regarding the transcription process, as well as historical background and references for Brahms, Arnold Schoenberg - who originally transcribed the quartet for symphony orchestra — the relationship between Brahms and Schoenberg, the influences on Brahms which led to this original composition, and the viability of the piano quartet as a chamber music ensemble. Brief analyses of the 4th movements of the orchestral transcription, along with the original work, are presented to contextualize the transcription process.
