Brahms Cello Sonata No.1 - Orchestration (Caleb Hu)

Here's my orchestration of Brahms' Cello Sonata No.1, commonly considered to be one of the greatest cello sonatas ever written. I highly encourage listening to the original if you haven't already (I'd recommend Mørk) as it is, in my opinion, almost as perfect as a sonata can get. The first movement is this big warm thing, dark in places but reaches an empyrean depth of serenity. The second is a brief minuet that contains some of Brahms' quaintest writing, and the third is a fugue of near apocalyptic intensity.

Like with the Schumann Fantasy, I kept the instrumentation contained to that of an era-appropriate symphony orchestra. I found this piece a lot easier to orchestrate than the Schumann Fantasy, because it's already written so symphonically.
