Rather than presenting one arrangement per day of my two-year long project of arranging of fourteen of my favorite middle-to-late period Brahms piano works for orchestra which I completed from 2022–2023, I am presenting them all at once. My goal as an arranger was to stay as close to the sound of Brahms own orchestral style as I could, adding personal touches only where I felt that the arrangement benefited from doing so.
As I have mentioned previously concerning this collection of arrangements, to my knowledge, there is only one ("1") other such arrangement by another arranger in existence that I could locate. Thus, no arranger has undertaken what I sought to accomplish here with my efforts.
Follow the next URL to view the the Brahms-Hoffman playlist of high quality synthesized scrolling score music videos on my YouTube channel that I created to encourage live performances.
I am also encouraging dancers to consider using these tracks in performances. I am offering them for free for that purpose in exchange for credit as the arranger.
FYI, this playlist also includes orchestrations of two of Brahms works for chorus and piano, and one arrangement of an organ piece for wind ensemble.
You can find out more detailed information about each of them on the Unpublished Works Page of my website. https://www.stanleymhoffman.com/works-unpublished
There you can also view watermarked scores and listen to high quality synthesized tracks of each arrangement.
All arrangements are available for licensing from me. stanley@stanleymhoffman.com
They are also available for sale from Sheet Music Plus. www.sheetmusicplus.com.
Thank you for your time and attention. I hope you enjoy my Brahms arrangements into which I poured my heart and soul as an arranger.
Thank you for your time and attention.
