The two cello sonatas by Johannes Brahms can be considered examples of the stylistic transformation that shaped his career as a composer. The Sonata op 38, composed for the most part in 1862, is the work of a not yet thirty-year-old and is characterized by intense Romantic expression. The Sonata op 99, on the other hand, composed in 1886, displays the uncompromising, at times sparse style of his later years.
