The difference between Brahms’s two serenades in actual sound is striking. The A major Serenade omits violins; not only does this give it a darker sound, but it creates a balance which makes this work, in contrast to the other, essentially a wind serenade with accompanying and supporting strings.

Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11, orchestral work by German composer Johannes Brahms, known for its unusually symphonic quality and for the prominence of its horn section. The final version of the work premiered in Hannover, Germany, on March 3, 1860, and was published that same year, making it.

Continuing the tradition of the light and entertaining Mozart-era serenade, Brahms's 5-movement Serenade No. 2 in A omits violins from the orchestra altogether, giving it a particularly warm, dusky—we might even say Brahmsian—tone.

Aug 17, 2014 · Brahms’s Serenade in D major, opus 11, written when the composer was 25, is a symphony in all but name, and was the composers’ first major orchestral work. It embodies the full range of his mature compositional voice.

Serenade No. 1 (Op. 11) was composed in 1858, while Brahms enjoyed a position in the tiny court of Detmold, the capital of the Principality of Lippe. The original work, now lost, is said to have been scored for chamber orchestra with a wind section of flute, two clarinets, horn and bassoon.
