Re: Possible Error in Brahms Quintet 2nd Movement

Well, the first thing is, it isn't exactly a recapitulation. That is a part of sonata form where we would see the second theme return in tonic, and nothing is transposed after the return on the Tempo I in bar 88.

Anywho, Brahms does have the material played twice like in the beginning, but it is in the Violin I part.

The whole Quintet itself is a set of theme and variations with multiple alterations to the themes throughout. Each movement is based ont he same subject matter.S hoenberg called this his theory of "Devoloping Variations" Brahms employed throughout many of his late works. n It was a defense of Brahms being a much more forward-looking composer than his contemporaries (and many historians) gave him credit for.
