Brahms is the undisputed master of second themes. The second theme in this piece, the violin concerto 1st movement, the B major piano trio 1st and 4th movements, and the 1st movement of violin sonata no. 1 (I'm sure there are more), all make me cry every single time I hear them. I just can't help myself.

This is in a major key. Why is it so sad at times?

Seeing the notes accompany the sounds emanating from a great set of musicians playing one of the most renowned compositions is an immense privilege. Thank you so much.

Divine music - listening to it nourishes heart and soul.

@bobthefireeater The picece you're referring to is after this one. It's the 2nd movement, so you'd be looking for: Brahms' String Sextet #1 In B Flat, Op. 18 - 2. Andante, Ma Moderato
Indeed very beautiful - my favorite part :)
I first heard this piece on Star Trek TNG! I've loved that 2minute excerpt ever since! Then I heard it in another popular TV show in the UK: "Inspector Morse.! One of the characters named it, and so now I'm here listening to it. Beautiful and sublime! Thank You!!

I'm not sure I will every be able to articulate exactly why this piece is so deeply moving, but it is amongst the most divine things ever created. Makes me tear up every time.
