pp., 29 musical examples, bibliography, 30 titles.
Recognizing the challenges small groups have to program a major work, in 2010, Joachim
Linckelmann created a chamber ensemble arrangement of Johannes Brahms’s Ein deutsches
Requiem. In 1869, J.M. Reiter-Biedermann published Brahms’s four-hand piano arrangement of
Ein deutsches Requiem. Brahms’s arrangement serves as an excellent comparison to the
chamber ensemble version by Linckelmann, since it can be assumed that Brahms chose to
highlight and focus on the parts he deemed the most important. This study was a comparative
analysis of the two arrangements and was completed in three stages. The first stage
documented every significant change in Joachim Linckelmann’s recent chamber arrangement.
The second stage classified each change as either a reduction, reorganization, or elimination. The
final stage of the analysis was to compare the choices made by Linckelmann to those made by
Brahms. The results show that Linckelmann’s choices for reduction, reorganization, and
elimination closely align with those of Brahms. The only differences between the arrangements
can be attributed to Linckelmann’s focus on retaining the original orchestral timbre and Brahms’s
focus on providing the original vocal parts.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Choral conductors make an impact on the musical development of their audiences and
performers through their choice of repertoire. To foster a society that understands and
appreciates the value of major choral works performed with orchestras, conductors have
regularly included these works in their concert repertoire. However, major works create unique
demands on performing groups with limited resources. One solution is to choose an
arrangement of the work that requires fewer musicians. However, two concerns when making
the decision to use an orchestration other than the original are whether the experience will be
comparable for both the performer and the audience and whether the musical integrity of the
composer’s intentions will be preserved in the arrangement.
Johannes Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem stands as the largest and most significant of
Brahms’s compositions for chorus and orchestra. The work garnered him international
recognition during his lifetime and continues to be regularly programmed. Modern performances
of this work have included large choral forces. For example, in his 1991 Carnegie Hall Workshop,
Robert Shaw had a chorus of 145, and Helmuth Rilling used a 250-voice chorus in his 1998
Carnegie Hall performance. While choruses of this size are appropriate for a work of this
magnitude, many smaller ensembles have continued to perform the work and found creative
ways to overcome the necessity for a large orchestra. Recognizing the challenges small groups
have to program a major work, Joachim Linckelmann created a chamber ensemble arrangement
2
of Ein deutsches Requiem with the intent of making the work accessible to small ensembles.1
In 1869, J.M. Reiter-Biedermann published Brahms’s four-hand piano arrangement of Ein
deutsches Requiem.2 The intent of the arrangement was to allow people to hear or perform the
work at home, similar to the way a recording does today.3 In creating this version, Brahms faced
his own choices in reduction, reorganization, and elimination. This study documents every
significant change in Joachim Linckelmann’s recent chamber arrangement of Brahms’s Ein
deutsches Requiem and shows that Linckelmann’s choices for reorganization, reduction, and
elimination closely align with those of Brahms. This study was a comparative analysis that was
completed in three stages.
The first stage documented every change in the chamber ensemble arrangement
(Appendix A). This was accomplished by tracking each instrument along with the corresponding
pitch and rhythmic content in both the original orchestration and the chamber ensemble
arrangement. Each instrument from the original orchestration was given a unique color code
(Appendix B). Then, the rhythmic and melodic content of each instrument was isolated in the
chamber arrangement and identified with its corresponding color. In the second stage, each
change was placed in one of three categories: 1) reduction achieved by retaining most but not all
original pitch and rhythmic content, 2) reorganization accomplished by substituting instruments
other than the original, or 3) elimination caused by the removal of original content. The final
stage of the analysis was to compare the choices of reduction, reorganization, and elimination

made by Linckelmann to those made by Brahms. Brahms’s arrangement serves as an excellent
comparison to the chamber ensemble version by Linckelmann, since it can be assumed that
Brahms chose to highlight and focus on the parts he deemed the most important.

CHAPTER 2
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Johannes Brahms composed Ein deutsches Requiem at a time when his reputation and
status as a composer were still questioned. Brahms had prior success with his early piano works,
but he had also had negative reception to the first performances of his first major work with
orchestra, the Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor.4 Even the first performance of the first three
movements of the Ein deutsches Requiem caused controversy when the timpanist misread
Brahms’s markings for the third movement. Nevertheless, the composition of Ein deutsches
Requiem became a turning point in Brahms’s career. The premier of the complete work (minus
the fifth movement), which occurred on Good Friday, April 10, 1868 in Bremen, generated
enormous excitement in Germany. St. Peter’s Cathedral was full with 2,500 listeners for this first
highly successful performance.5 With performances in England in 1871 and America in 1877,
Brahms’s reputation grew internationally. Ein deutsches Requiem was followed by numerous
successful compositions, and after the debut of Brahms’s First Symphony, conductor Hans von
Bülow proclaimed that Brahms was the completion of the three great B’s of music, with Bach and
Beethoven being the first two.6 Brahms was so loved for his contribution to music that upon his
death the city of Vienna gave him one of the grandest funerals ever seen in the county to
celebrate his life and music.7

On July 10, 1871, at the house of Lady Thompson, Brahms’s four-hand piano arrangement
was used in the first private performance of Ein deutsches Requiem in England.8 Lady Thompson,
who was an accomplished pianist and teacher at the Royal Academy, and Cipriani Potter played
the piece.9 The chorus consisted of approximately thirty singers, and the work was conducted
by Julius Stockhausen.10 Stockhausen was the baritone soloist in the first Bremen performance,
and he sang the solos for this performance as well.11 The Brahms four-hand arrangement was
reprinted by Carus in 1989 and in 1999. The version printed in 1999 was used as the primary
source for comparison in this study.
Joachim Linckelmann created the chamber version of Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem,
which was published in 2010 by Carus, with the expressed purpose of making an arrangement
suitable for choirs ranging from about 25-50 singers.12 In the foreword to the arrangement, he
states that Brahms “conceived the original accompaniment to his Requiem for massive
instrumental forces intended to match a choir of more than 200 singers.”13 He continues by
explaining that most performances today use fewer singers, which results in an imbalance of
sound. Linckelmann believes that the “arrangement of the accompaniment for a chamber
ensemble removes this difficulty, enabling the choir to sing a piano passage to full effect, but it

University Press, 1985), 6. 9 Ibid., 6. 10 Van Camp, A Practical Guide, 9. 11 Ibid., 9. 12 Linckelmann, Foreword to "Ein deutsches Requiem,” iii. 13 Ibid., iii.

retains orchestral sound, making it unnecessary for the choir to turn to Brahms’s piano duet
arrangement for the accompaniment.”14
The instrumentation of Linckelmann’s chamber version differs substantially from the
original score. In the chamber arrangement, a woodwind quintet including flute, oboe, clarinet,
horn and bassoon, plays the original material for nineteen instruments. The harp, trumpets,
trombones, tuba, and three horns are omitted from the instrumentation. In addition, the ad
libitum instruments, which include the contrabassoon and organ, are eliminated. These two
instruments do not provide any original melodic or rhythmic material that is not already provided
by another instrument. The original orchestration includes a standard strings section with divisi
for violin 2, viola, and cello. In the chamber ensemble, this has been reduced to a string quintet
including violins 1 & 2, viola, cello, and bass. The timpani and vocal parts are the two elements
that remain unchanged in Linckelmann’s arrangement.

CHAPTER 3
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS - HARP
Neither Brahms nor Linckelmann include a harp part in their arrangement. Since both
composers must choose what to do with the original harp material, this instrument provides a
good starting place for a comparative analysis. This analysis focuses on three orchestration
techniques.
The first reduced orchestration technique is reorganization, which is the practice of
substituting one or more instruments to play the original pitch and rhythmic content of another
instrument. Linckelmann uses this technique throughout his arrangement and typically chooses
a replacement instrument from the same family or an instrument with a similar timbre. Brahms’s
four-hand reduction requires every part to be reorganized. Since this technique is used
extensively throughout both arrangements, it becomes significant only when it is used in a
manner that deviates from the standard practice of the composer. For instance, Brahms and
Linckelmann reorganize and reduce many passages of the original harp material, but there are
only two instances where the original harp material is reorganized but not reduced. The first
instance occurs at the conclusion of movement one (example 1). The second instance is the
return of the same material at the end of the final movement. Linckelmann chooses to split the
content of the original harp part between the bass, cello, and viola for mm. 154-155, and
between the clarinet and flute for the remainder of the movement (example 2). Brahms places
the complete original harp material in the Piano I part (example 3). In both arrangements, the
composers have chosen to use vast resources to provide the original harp material without
alteration. Brahms’s choice results in the harp material being a distinct and highlighted layer in
8
the four-hand piano arrangement. This indicates that the composer placed great significance on
this specific portion of the original harp material. Linckelmann’s standard procedure for original
harp material is to reduce the material to either one or two instruments and remove octave
doublings.
Example 1 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 1, mm. 152-158
9
Example 2 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 1, mm. 154-158
10
Example 3 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 1, mm. 154-158
By retaining the exact original pitches and using five instruments to play the content, Linckelmann
is also placing great significance on this portion of the original harp material. The choices
demonstrated in this example illustrate that Linckelmann’s treatment of this passage is very
similar to that of Brahms.
The second reduced orchestration technique is reduction due to either the elimination of
doublings or individual pitches. Reduction is the most common treatment of the original harp
material for both Brahms and Linckelmann. An example of reduction is found in measures 54-60
of movement one (example 4). The original harp material for this passage includes an
arpeggiated series of chords in a triplet pattern. Each of these chords either spans the distance
of more than an octave or includes a doubling at the lower octave in the bass register. In his
arrangement, Linckelmann places the original harp material in the clarinet part. Measures 54-55
require only the first pitch to be displaced by an octave. However, as the original harp part begins
to double at the octave starting in m. 56, Linckelmann chooses to reduce the original material
and eliminate the doubling (example 5). Brahms’s treatment of the same passage is also clearly
11
a reduction. Beginning in m. 54 (example 6), Brahms places the original harp material in the left
hand of the Piano II part. He maintains the original rhythm and outlines the same chord;
however, he eliminates the upper octave and adds additional pitches from the chord.
Example 4 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 1, mm. 52-61
Example 5 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 1, mm. 51-58
Similar to the reduction in Linckelmann arrangement, starting in measure 55, Brahms chooses to
reduce the original material and eliminate the doubling. Additional instances where
Linckelmann’s use of reduction is similar to that of Brahms are found in measures 48 & 50, 87-
93, 150-151 of movement one, measures 106-119 of movement two, and measures 158-159 of
movement seven.
Clarinet
12
Example 6 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 1, mm. 51-58
The third reduced orchestration technique is elimination. When portions of the original material
are in the background and instrumentation of the new arrangement is necessary for foreground
material, both Brahms and Linckelmann elect to eliminate portions of the original material.
Elimination occurs for the original harp content exclusively in the second movement at mm. 17-
21, 37-41, 54-65, 141-145, 161-165, and 178-189, yet does not change the chord structure. The
only deviation by Lincklemann from Brahms’s treatment of the harp part occurs at mm. 3-13, 23-
33, 127-137, and 147-157. In these measures, Linckelmann eliminates the original harp material,
whereas Brahms is able to integrate it into the Piano II part. There is limited significance to this
13
choice because the portions previously discussed that were eliminated by Brahms are almost
identical in nature. Furthermore, the original harp material is clearly in the background providing
only reiterations of a chord that is present in other voices.
14
CHAPTER 4
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS – STRINGS
Linckelmann describes his arrangement as two standard ensembles.15 The first ensemble,
a string quartet plus a double bass, maintains a large portion of the original string orchestration.
Only the first and second movements require special treatment due to divisi in the original score.
Brahms’s original score includes no violin parts and three cello parts for the first movement and
a divisi on the violin 2 part and three viola parts for the second movement. The remainder of the
work has changes very similar to those found in the harp part.
Despite the great similarities in the string parts of the original score with those in the
Linckelmann’s chamber version, reorganization is the technique Linckelmann uses most
frequently. The reorganization of string parts is typically caused by the necessity of an instrument
to play the original material of a woodwind or brass instrument. When reorganizing, Linckelmann
most commonly uses the string instrument immediately higher or lower than the original (see
Appendix B). These reorganizations are minimally significant and a direct comparison with the
reorganization in Brahms’s reduction is not necessary. One relevant instance of reorganization,
in both arrangements, occurs in mm. 22-33 of the second movement. The original score includes
three viola parts, which Linckelmann reorganizes for Violin 1, Violin 2, and Viola. This
reorganization affects the original string color, so Linckelmann compensates by alternating every
two measures the instrument assigned to each original part. In the original score, the three viola
parts double a large percentage of the pitch material of the woodwinds but not with enough
consistency to state that one instrument is paired with another. When reorganizing these
15 Linckelmann, Foreword to "Ein deutsches Requiem,” iii.
15
measures, Brahms focuses on the woodwind parts, which results in portions of the original viola
material being eliminated and a pitch range that is higher than it would be with a simple
reorganization of the viola material.
Linckelmann and Brahms do not use reduction frequently in their arrangement of the
string parts. One brief usage by both composers occurs in mm. 30-31 of the first movement. In
the original score, the viola 1&2 parts double one octave lower the flute 1&2 parts, respectively.
In the chamber arrangement, violin 1 plays the original viola 2 material and the flute 2 doubling
is removed. In the four-hand reduction, Brahms chooses to reduce both doublings to the lower
octave. Another significant usage of reduction, by Linckelmann, occurs in mm. 3-16 of the third
movement. In the original score, these measures are written for five lower string instruments –
viola 1, viola 2, cello 1, cello 2, and bass. In the chamber arrangement, the top four string parts
are integrated into the violin 1, viola, and cello parts. Linckelmann minimizes a change in string
timbre by including only one violin part, which results in only three parts at any one time. The
result is that the doubled pitches are removed. Brahms does not have the same limitation on his
writing, so the doubled pitches are included.
The final example of reduction of string material highlights one of the main differences
between the Linckelmann and Brahms arrangements. In the original score, the Cello and Bass
parts routinely play the same material in octaves. In three movements, Linckelmann chooses to
reduce the doubling between the Cello and Bass to only the Cello part. This treatment occurs in
the second movement at mm. 41-42, in the fifth movement at mm. 1-3, mm. 6-18, mm. 28-32,
and in the seventh movement at mm. 215-223. Linckelmann justifies this choice by stating that
16
Viola
Cello
it “gives you the possibility to create more shades of intimacy.”16 In each of these instances, the
Brahms reductions contain simple octave doublings on the given pitches.
Linckelmann and Brahms occasionally choose to eliminate original string material when it
occurs in a background layer. For instance, in mm. 12-13 of the third movement, Linckelmann
and Brahms remove the original cello 2 material, which consists of two whole notes on the pitch
of A1 in the original score (example 7). In both arrangements, all voices are needed to play layers
in the foreground, so this material is eliminated.
Example 7 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 3, mm. 11-14
Example 8 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 3, mm. 11-14
16 Joachim Linckelmann, email correspondence, June 22, 2016.
17
Example 9 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 3, mm. 11-14
Similarly, in m. 140 of the first movement, Brahms eliminates the original cello 1 and viola 1
material, which sustains the pitch of G, so that the piano may play the original vocal material. A
final example of elimination can be found in both arrangements in the cello 1 part from m. 13
(beat 2) – m. 14 (beat 1) in the first movement.
The most significant treatment of the original string material occurs when Brahms and
Linckelmann choose to create new material similar but not identical to the original score. In mm.
53-55 of the fourth movement (example 10), Brahms combines the original violin 1&2 and viola
1&2 into a single layer played by the right hand of the second piano.
Example 10 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 4, mm. 51-57
18
The original violin and viola played different rhythms with interspersed rests (example 11). When
combined, the new material is a string of eighth notes with two quarter notes. The original violin
and viola material is separated by an octave, but the new material is all in the original violin range.
In the chamber arrangement, Linckelmann follows a very similar process in mm. 54-62 of the
second movement.
Example 11 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 4, mm. 48-56
He combines the original material of violin 1, violin 2, and viola with the original material of the
harp. In the original score (example 12), the strings plays a distinctive quarter, dotted-eighth,
quarter pattern. In the chamber arrangement (sample 13), the combining of parts results is a
new rhythmic pattern consisting of eighth and sixteenth notes. To accentuate the original
melodic content of the strings, Linckelmann includes tenuto markings. In addition, the cello plays
the original viola 3 material so that the distinctive original rhythm is not abandoned.

CHAPTER 5
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS - WOODWINDS
The second ensemble in Linckelmann chamber arrangement is a woodwind quintet. He
explains that this instrumentation allows you a "maximum of different sounds and sound
combinations,” with a “minimum of players.”17 This choice of instrumentation, however,
requires Linckelmann to reduce an eight-part woodwind section and ten-part brass section to
only five instruments. Linckelmann accomplishes this task by relying heavily on reorganization
of instrumentation and reduction in large divisi sections.
The techniques that Linckelmann uses when reorganizing the woodwind section can be
categorized according to instrument registration. The piccolo and flute, which are the highest
instruments, are the least reorganized woodwinds in Linckelmann’s arrangement. In the original
score, the piccolo and the flute are separate parts, but Linckelmann combines them effectively
into one part by having the oboe and clarinet play portions of the original piccolo material.
Linckelmann sparingly uses the combined piccolo/flute to play the original material of the
medium register instruments, which are the oboe and clarinet, and to play small portions of the
original brass material. In contrast, the oboe and clarinet are the most reorganized woodwind
parts. Linckelmann utilizes these instruments for reorganization of both the high and low register
woodwinds (see Appendix B), as well as, much of the original brass material. The bassoon is the
only the low register woodwind, and Linckelmann primarily reorganizes it to play original medium
to low brass material.
17 Joachim Linckelmann, email correspondence, April 4, 2016.
21
The reorganization of the woodwind section in the chamber arrangement is made
possible only through the use of reduction. Though the flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon all are
written in divisi in the original score, Brahms rarely writes more than a three or four-part texture
for the woodwinds. He includes the complete woodwind section by doubling instruments at the
octave. Measures 219-225 of movement 2 illustrate some of them most common pairings
(example 14). In the original score, Brahms pairs the flute 1 with oboe 1, flute 2 with oboe 2, and
clarinet 1 with bassoon 1.
Example 14 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 2, mm. 219-225
In other portions of the work, Brahms also pairs flute 1 with clarinet 1, and flute 2 with clarinet
2. Throughout his chamber arrangement, Linckelmann very consistently reduces this
instrumentation to the flute playing the original flute 1 material and the oboe playing the original
oboe 2 material (example 15). By choosing to score the highest and lowest pitches of the original
doublings, Linckelmann retains the original orchestral timbre with the flute as the highest
22
sounding instrument. In a similar manner, Brahms uses reduction in many of these situations. In
his arrangement, Brahms reduces this instrumentation to the second piano playing the original
flute 1 & 2 (example 16).
Example 15 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 2, mm. 219-224
Example 16 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 2, mm. 219-224
One of the significant differences between the arrangements is that Linckelmann
consistently chooses to uses the higher octave flute 1 material and Brahms regularly abandons
this higher octave and uses the lower register material. In movement five, mm. 18-23, the
original score pairs flute 1 with clarinet 1 (example 17). Following his standard procedure,
Linckelmann reduces this passage to only flute at the higher octave. The flute 2 material is
reorganized for oboe, and the clarinet plays the original clarinet 2 material (example 18).

Example 18 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 5, mm. 18-23
Brahms, on the contrary, chooses to reduce this passage to only clarinet at the lower octave. He
also retains the original clarinet 2 material and eliminates the original flute 2 material (example
19). This discrepancy in the use of reduction between the two arrangements may be attributed
to the necessity for Brahms to supply the vocal material. In Linckelmann’s arrangement, the vocal
parts are an independent layer and are adequately supported by the flute. In Brahms’s
arrangement, the choice to use the lower register not only provides the pitch material of the flute
1 and clarinet 1 but also serves to provide the original vocal material at the correct octave.

24
Example 19 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 2, mm. 18-23
Linckelmann rarely uses elimination when arranging the original woodwind material.
When used, it is typically for only a couple beats or a few measures. In addition, the original pitch
content of the eliminated instruments is likely to be provided by another instrument in a different
rhythm pattern or in a different register.
Example 20 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 7, mm. 117-121
For example, Linckelmann eliminates the original oboe 2 material for mm. 117-121 of movement
seven. In the original score (example 20), the oboe 1 and oboe 2 play melodic lines that are not
doubled by other woodwind parts. In his arrangement, Linckelmann chooses to retain the oboe
1 material which complements and supports the soprano voice, and he eliminates the original
25
oboe 2 material which only occasionally mirrors the alto voice. All pitch material from the oboe
2 is still provided by other instruments, which is illustrated by the red boxes in example 21.
Example 21 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 7, mm. 117-123
In a similar manner, Brahms eliminates the original oboe 2 material for these measures in his
arrangement (example 22). Since he provides all of the original pitch material for the alto voice,
26
there are small portions of the oboe 2 material that remain. However, even this material is often
presented in a different rhythmic pattern.
Example 22 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 7, mm. 117-123
27
CHAPTER 6
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS - BRASS
Both arrangements contain less melodic and rhythmic content from the original brass
instruments than any other section. Linckelmann’s chamber version contains only one brass
instrument – the horn. Linckelmann, however, adamantly rejects the notion that his chamber
version eliminates the brass section,18 and he reduces large passages of the original brass
material in his arrangement to maintain a brass timbre. In contrast, Brahms eliminates the
original brass content on a frequent basis in his four-hand reduction.
Since the horn is the only brass instrument in the chamber version, Linckelmann uses
reorganization extensively. Most of the original low brass content, including the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
horns and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trombones, is reorganized for either horn to maintain the brass
timbre or for bassoon. When the horn is utilized, Linckelmann typically reorganizes the original
1st horn material for other instruments to avoid elimination. Every instrument, with the
exception of the string bass, plays original horn material at some point (see Appendix B). The
original Tuba material, if not doubled by the string bass, is reorganized for either cello or bassoon.
To provide contrast in timbre, Linckelmann occasionally reorganizes the original trumpet content
for either oboe or clarinet.
Linckelmann uses reduction more commonly in his chamber arrangement than Brahms in
his arrangement. In the original score, the brass material is normally played by two or more
instruments or doubled by instruments in the woodwind or string sections. Many of these
pairings are an octave apart, as measures 82-87 of movement six demonstrate (example 23). In
18 Linckelmann, email correspondence, April 4, 2016.
28
this passage, Linckelmann reduces horn 1 & 2 and trumpet 1 & 2, which play the same pitch in
octaves, to only the horn (example 24).
Example 23 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 6, mm. 82-87
Example 24 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 6, mm. 82-87
In the original score, this section consists of two layers: 1) woodwinds and brass which double
the vocal parts, and 2) strings. Brahms does not reduce this passage, rather he assigns one layer
to each piano part (example 25).
Example 25 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 6, mm. 82-87
Horn in F
29
When the texture becomes dense, Brahms frequently chooses to eliminate complete
layers rather than reduce them. A relevant example occurs in the second movement at mm. 179-
185 (example 26).
Example 26 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 2, mm. 179-185
30
In the chamber arrangement, Linckelmann reduces the original horn and trumpet parts to a single
pitch and adds the original Trombone material to create a new part played by the horn. In his
four-hand reduction, Brahms focuses on the string and woodwind layers and eliminates the
original brass layer. This elimination only removes the original rhythmic pattern played by the
brass and does not alter the original pitch content, since it is doubled by the strings in the original
score.
Linckelmann uses elimination in a manner similar to Brahms when the demands of the
original instrumentation exceed his ability to reorganize or reduce. In the third movement, mm.
191-193, (example 27) the original score has a dense texture with three significant layers.
Example 27 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 solo voices, choir and orchestra, Mvt. 3, mm. 191-193
Linckelmann uses reduction to create a new horn part that includes elements from the
trombones, horn 2, and trumpet 1 (example 28). The original horn 1 material is eliminated in the
process.
Example 28 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble, Mvt. 3, mm. 191-193
Horn
in F
31
Brahms focuses on the foreground layers in his arrangement and eliminates all of the original
brass content except for one note from the original horn 2 material (example 29).
Example 29 Johannes Brahms, Ein deutsches Requiem, for 2 pianos, Mvt. 2, mm. 191-193
Both composers use elimination when the original content is adequately presented by
other instrumentation. In movement six of the original score, the tuba sustains the pitch of D3
for measures 231-234 through a series of breves. Simultaneously, the cello alternates between
D2 and D3 on quarter notes. Since the original pitch material is presented by the cello and the
original tuba rhythm does not add a unique element to the passage, both composers choose to
eliminate the original tuba material.
32
CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
Linckelmann’s choices for reorganization, reduction, and elimination closely align with
those of Brahms. The primary differences between the arrangements can be attributed to
Brahms’s focus on providing the original vocal parts and Linckelmann’s focus on retaining the
original orchestral timbre.
The process of creating an arrangement begins with reorganizing existing material, so
both Brahms and Linckelmann use this technique extensively. In their arrangements, the original
harp material takes precedence in the first and seventh movements. At the end of these
movements, Linckelmann utilizes several string and woodwind instruments to play the original
material. In a similar fashion, Brahms devotes an entire piano part to just the original harp
material at the end of these movements. In both of the arrangement, the original string material
is presented in a manner similar to the original score with minimal instances of reduction or
elimination. To achieve this effect, Linckelmann must reorganize three cello parts for the first
movement and two violin 2 parts and three viola parts for the second movement. He keeps a
majority of the reorganization within the string quartet, using woodwinds and the horn on limited
occasions. Likewise, Brahms reorganizes large segments of the original string material and rarely
reduces or eliminates portions. Due to the great number of woodwind and brass instruments
included in the original score, these sections require vast amounts of reorganization. Even with
this reorganization, Brahms and Linckelmann must rely on the other two techniques to arrange
properly this original material.
33
One unique aspect of Brahms’s arrangement requires him to reorganize and reduce more
of the original score than Linckelmann. Brahms’s four-hand reduction is a complete work for two
pianos. The arrangement was not created as an accompaniment score.19 Therefore, Brahms
must also incorporate the original vocal material into his arrangement. Linckelmann does not
have this challenge, since the vocal parts are presented without alternation from their original
state. In the original score, the vocal lines are commonly doubled by instruments. This allows
Brahms, in his arrangement, to reduce the two layers into one and limit the use of elimination.
Brahms and Linckelmann use the technique of reduction with much of the original harp
material and on occasions with the original string material. However, the full implementation of
this technique is best demonstrated in both arrangements by the treatment of the original
woodwind and brass material. In the original score, a majority of the woodwind and brass
material is played in octaves or multiple octaves. The flute is commonly paired with either
piccolo, oboes or clarinets. Trumpet parts are almost exclusively played an octave apart, and
they are often paired with the horns who also regularly play an octave apart. The common
occurrence of doubling in the original score allows Brahms and Linckelmann to reduce the
original material, but there is a significant difference in their treatment of reduction. Brahms
prefers to present the original vocal material without significant alteration. When instruments
play in octaves and double the vocal parts, Brahms typically keeps a reduction of this material in
the same register as the original vocal material. Linckelmann, having independent vocal parts,
normally chooses to reduce octave doublings that also double the vocal parts to the higher
19 Van Camp, A Practical Guide, 59.
34
octave. This procedure is most common when the original doubling includes the flute. A choice
to reduce the original material to the lower octave would change the overall orchestral timbre.
Brahms chooses to eliminate some portions of the original material for all instruments.
With the exception of the vocal parts and timpani, Linckelmann’s arrangement contains as many
eliminated sections as Brahms’s arrangement. For both composers, the eliminated material can
generally be described as background material or material presented by another instrument with
a different rhythmic pattern. It is rare in both arrangements, to find original pitch material that
is completely eliminated from the new score. A large portion of the original brass material
provides sustained chords with limited rhythmic interest. This material can be described as
background material and functions to complete an orchestral timbre and strengthen the overall
dynamic level. Since all orchestral timbre is removed in the four-hand reduction, Brahms tends
to eliminate this material on a more frequent basis than Linckelmann. In an effort to maintain
an orchestral timbre close to the original, Linckelmann typically favors reorganizing this material
for the horn.
For conductors, this study demonstrates that Linckelmann’s chamber version retains the
original musical integrity of the composer’s intentions. Whether a choir sings Ein deutsches
Requiem accompanied by an orchestra, a chamber ensemble, or two pianos, the experience
should be comparable for both the performer and the audience.

APPENDIX A
TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW WITH JOACHIM LINCKELMANN
36
Q - You clearly state in the foreword of the work that the intention of the arrangement is to
make Brahms's Requiem more accessible. There are numerous major works that could
benefit from this process. How / why did you choose Brahms's Requiem?
A - There are roughly three major considerations for the choice of the respective work to be
arranged:
1. It should be beautiful music (this of course depends on personal taste)
2. It should be a well-known piece which has been performed already many times
3. The music and the orchestration of the original has to be "arrangeable [sic]" for the
chamber orchestra setting; e.g. it would not make much sense to arrange the Berlioz
Requiem for wind quintet and strings.
Usually 1) and 2) correlate pretty well, but not necessarily. In case of the Brahms Requiem
1) and 2) are perfectly matched, and 3) pretty well, with maybe the lack of the Harp as a
major challenge.
To the Brahms Requiem I have also a strong personal relationship, it was the first major
orchestra plus choir performance I participated (playing the cello at this time) when I was
12 years old. A choir conductor, a friend of mine, asked me whether I could imagine to do
such an arrangement, since he wanted perform the Brahms Requiem with his 40 singers
choir, opting first for the two piano version by Brahms himself. That was actually the main
trigger to start this series of Oratorio arrangements.
Q- As you arranged the work, what was your primary concern or focus?
A - The primary concern of course is the fear of not sounding like an orchestra, though I have to
37
admit that this concern disappeared very quickly. The main focus then is to produce a sound
as near as possible to the original orchestration.
Q - Prior to or during the arranging process, did you set parameters or rules for yourself?
A - This is actually the same as above: to try to "copy" the original instrumentation as close as
possible.
Q - How did you select the instrumentation?
A - The majority of my arrangements are for the classical instrumentation of a wind quintet
(you will find these arrangement at Bärenreiter, Schott, Sikorski and Edition Pocket
Orchestra; in case you need I can provide you with a list). Being a flute player and playing
wind quintet right from the beginning of my music studies I was interested to enlarge the
wind quintet repertoire with pieces I especially liked. This is also why I chose the wind
quintet as the wind/brass section of the chamber orchestra. You have five different
instruments, i.e. you get with a minimum of players a maximum of different sounds and
sound combinations. In some reviews about the Brahms arrangement I read that the Brass
sections had been removed, but this is simply not true, since a) the Horn is there and b) the
Horn is the most flexible of all brass instruments and can substitute very well several brass
instruments. The wind quintet is also a "fixed" group, that is there are many wind quintets
around which are playing together for a long time. This can help to find for a performance
an experienced group of musicians.
Q - And just for fun - Did any part of the arranging process cause you a lot more difficulty than
38
you could have predicted before you started?
A - There were certainly passages which caused me some headaches (like the use of the
Bassoon at the very beginning, or some Harp substitutions), but also I had the experience
that the whole thing went better than I first expected.
Harp
Q - The Harp plays such a significant role and requires considerable rearranging, did you ever
consider just including a Harp part?
A - Part of the idea of this arrangement (though certainly not the only one) is to reduce the
costs of a performance. A harp player can be more expensive as a string or wind player. It
would have been possible to include it, using ossia staves in the strings and winds for
performances with or without harp. I know also at least one choir conductor who simply
used the original harp part. Although some of the harp music is quite prominent, altogether
there is only very little music which is that important, namely a couple of measures in Nr 1
and 7. To answer your question: I decided from the very beginning not using a Harp.
Q - You mentioned in response to a prior question that you struggled with the Harp part. Would
you elaborate?
A - To replace a Horn by a Clarinet or a Trumpet by an Oboe is rather easy; to replace Harp
music is much more difficult due to the totally different sound production. A "pizz." in the
strings is the closest in attack, but doesn’t have nearly the same length of decay. A wind
instrument in contrast doesn’t have a decay at all.
Q - In movement 2, measures 3-73, you seem to go back and forth between attempting to
39
include elements of the original harp material in the Violin 1, Violin 2, and Clarinet, and
Bassoon and eliminating the original harp material completely. Can you explain your
orchestration techniques in regards to the harp in a dense texture?
A - I think the most important role of the harp in these passages is the rhythmical structure (in
contrast to say the end of Nr. 1, where the pitches are as important). Example for my
orchestration technique: in measures 3-10 the rhythm part of the harp is covered by the
Horn (also in the original); since in bar 22 the Horn starts to play the Trombone it can’t play
anymore those notes, hence the Bassoon helps here.
Strings
Q - In movement 1, the primary role of the Cello 3 part in the original score (OS) is to either
double the bass one octave higher or to play the same pitch as the bass. For a large portion
of the movement, you chose to eliminate the cello 3 doubling. Did you consider just
eliminating it all together?
A - The arrangement was set up with the idea that you can play it with single string players;
most of the performances will be played with bigger string sections though, e.g. 4.3.3.2.1. If
I had made the arrangement with the demand of such a group I possibly would have chosen
a different arrangement in Nr. 1; e.g. the Bassoon would not play the Cello 2 part at the
beginning, instead you would have 2 Cellos playing divisi. There was no specific
consideration to eliminate the Cello 3 doubling altogether. Since there are Violins in the
arrangement who can play the Viola part, this frees the Viola to play the upper Vc line,
40
which frees the Vc to double the Bass where possible. To have a full bass sound helps to
create an orchestral sound.
Q - In movement 1, measures 47-51 (and 80-83), you elected to use the original higher Cello 3
pitch material and eliminate the lower Bass octave. Why did you make that decision?
A - This is to have the narrow voicing of the string chords at this moment. Possibly this produces
a more compact and homogeneous sound. Also a change in using which of the octave (Vc
or Cb) is being used produces a bigger variety of sounds within one piece.
Q - In movement 2, measures 22-33, you integrate the original material for the 3 Violas into the
Violin I, Violin II, and Viola. However, the original Viola parts do not stay consistently with
the same instrument. The change to a different instrument occurs on the third beats of m.
24, 26, and 28. Why the change?
A - The change of voices on beat 3 of measure 24 is possibly to give the rhythmically prominent
part to the Viola in order to produce more of a Viola sound. 26 is logically then again the top
voice, having also the dotted rhythm. The change in bar 28 is obvious, those notes would be
too low for the Violins.
Q - In movement 2, measures 54-62 (and 178-186) are some of the most different string part
writing for the entire work. In my notes from my analysis of the Violin 1 part, I summarize
the change: “In this passage, Linckelmann combines a variety of original pitch and rhythmic
material to create a new layer. The Violin 1 provides portions of the Viola 3, Harp, and Horn
original material.” Can you explain in more detail your intent for these measures for the
string parts?
A - I think this is mainly to integrate the harp music, especially the rhythmic pattern of the
41
harp. The voice switches between Violin I and II on the respective second eighth note
supports the emulation of an additional instrument.
Q - In movement 3, measures 173-208, I believe the instructions are telling the Bass to play the
lower pitch. Can you further explain what these instructions mean?
A - It depends which kind of instrument you have. A standard Double Bass with four strings and
the standard tuning couldn’t play the low d; a five string Bass can play it. The instruction
says that if you have a five string bass you should play the lower d. In the OS in bar 159
there is an instruction that "some DB player should change the tuning of the E string down
to D". This is hard to achieve if you have only one player ;-)
Q - In movement 4, measure 3, in OS, the Bass a single Bb quarter note. In CS, this pitch has
been eliminated. Is this a mistake?
A - This is certainly a mistake and has already been corrected. So future copies of the score and
the parts will have this correct.
Q - In movement 5, measures 1-2, 16-18, 28-32, and 39-43, in OS, the Bass doubles the Cello at
the octave. In CS, the Bass part is eliminated removing the doubling. Why did you make this
decision?
A - This is to create a more intimate and chamber music like sound as an accompaniment with
the Soprano solo.
Q - In movement 6, measure 174, the original score has the Cello and Bass on the same
pitch. In CS, you have dropped the Bass down one octave. Why did you choose to drop the
Bass down an octave for this one measure?
A - Maybe hoping that the Bass player would have a five string instrument; Brahms certainly
42
would have chosen the same octave if the low d had been available. Whether this qualifies
as a mistake I don’t dare to say. The music "should" be at this octave.
Q - In movement 6, measures 215-223, you have chosen not to double the Cello with the Bass
an octave lower. Why did you choose to do this?
A - In order to have more increasing potential. You get a better dramaturgy if you keep
something in reserve, especially if you have a long fugue.
Woodwind
Q - In movement 2, m. 2-6, you create a new Oboe part from the original Oboe 1 & 2
parts. What guides you in choosing which pitch from the original Oboe part to include?
A - The harmonies. I need to get all (or most) notes from the respective chord. That’s why the
Oboe switches here between Oboe I and II. E.g. in bar 3 on the 2nd beat, if the Oboe
wouldn’t go to the Bb it would simply double Piccolo and Clarinet instead of playing an
additional pitch for the chord. On beat 3 it goes back to the C, since the A natural is already
in the Violin II, etc. This is a rather typical procedure; you just have to make sure that the
movement up and down doesn’t sound too intrusive, which is here not the case, since it is
well squeezed between Piccolo and Clarinet, and the interval amplitude is not too big.
Q - In movement 3, m. 37-40, you write the Bassoon 2 original material for Bassoon but one
octave higher. This is not your standard practice. Why did you choose to do so here?
A - I consider this the better voicing for this chord. You find these very pitches in Horn 3. The
lower octave you have already in Vc in Cb. I.e. choosing the Bassoon 2 notes would omit an
octave layer. Wouldn’t sound as good.
43
Q - In movement 6, m. 182-183, the Flute plays the original Clarinet 1 material, but one octave
lower. Why did you decide to write it an octave lower than the original?
A - Both m. 182-183 and 188-189 are set entirely an octave lower, i.e. the upper voice is in the
Oboe, that’s why also the Flute (as Clarinet 2) plays an octave lower. I put these passages
an octave lower (giving the Oboe the top voice) in order to achieve a stronger contrast to
the following chords with the high Flute notes.
Q - In movement 6, m. 269-274, the Flute 1 doubles the Oboe 1 one octave higher in the original
score. In your chamber score, you have reduced this to only the Oboe, but the Flute is not
playing any other material. Why not leave the original Flute doubling?
A - Again, to get more increasing and contrasting potential over these very long fugue
passages. If you let play all the instruments all the time, it will sound boring. You have to
consider that there are five wind players which play for 19 instruments. If then in the OS is a
passage with only two or three instruments you don’t have to have necessarily the same
number of players in the arrangement. So the omission of the Flute emulates the sparse
instrumentation of the OS.
Q - In movement 7, m. 31-34, you choose to eliminate both the Bassoon 1 material. While the
original material is played by other instruments, normally you only eliminate original
material when an instrument must play another part. The Bassoon does not play for these
measures. Why the elimination here?
A - To thin out the instrumentation and to upvalue the entrance of the Bassoon in m. 36.
Besides, the Bassoon player will appreciate the rest.
44
Brass
Q - The Horn takes on a new role in this arrangement. It covers a variety of original material
from a wide range of instruments. Were you ever concerned that the Horn part may
become too difficult? (Stamina issues are my main concern)
A - The Horn is such an flexible instrument with a huge range. If you have one brass
instrument, it certainly has to be a Horn. An additional brass instrument (a trumpet or a
trombone) would produce in my view a heavy misbalance with the rest of the ensemble. Or
you could use it only for few passages, "wasting" a lot of money in extra players which
might be better spent on better soloists. If there was a problem with the Horn part, it
would be a stamina issue, you are absolutely right. In fact the opposite happens: a Horn
player usually is happy with this kind of challenge and more music to play!
Q - Throughout the first movement, any time there was a doubling between Horn 1 & 2 an
octave apart, you chose to eliminate the lower octave. What is guiding your decision as to
which octave to place the Horn part?
A - Looking at the beginning of Nr 1 the answer is easy: the lower octave is already covered by
the DB (sounding still an octave lower), and you could not omit the upper voice. Absolutely
impossible here.
Q - However, starting in the second movement, you start to eliminate the higher octave just as
frequently. What is guiding your decision as to which octave to place the Horn part?
A - In Nr. 2, the Horn starts to play in bar 3 the upper voice; in OS the Horns 1 and 2 are in "low
B flat", i.e. they sound a major ninth lower than written. (Same applies to Horns 3 and 4,
they sound an octave lower than written).
45
Q - The original Horn 1 & 2 material seems to take precedence over all other original brass
material. It may seem this way just because a large percentage of brass material is doubled
throughout multiple instruments. Did you prioritize which original brass material was
included? If so, how?
A - I guess you have (very generally) to distinguish between "filling material" and mandatory
melodical material. E.g. you can omit a Trumpet at the beginning of Nr 2 (being covered and
Oboe and Horn), but of course you cannot omit a Trombone choral in Nr 7 (bars 40 et seq.).
Q - In movement 7, m. 163-165, the original horn material is eliminated (doubled in other
parts), and the horn is not given a part. Why not allow them to play their original material?
A - This is again a question of "dramaturgy". In the final chord there are the Trombones as an
extra sound. If I had the Horn playing the preceding bars there would be no change in sound
for the final chord. And this change in sound with the extra brass sound I considered more
important than adding the original Horn notes to a passage which is anyway to be played
very softly.
Misc. Questions
Q - Am I correct that the voice parts remain 100% unchanged?
A - Yes, this is correct (except for possible errors …).
Q - Did you ever consider adding either the Contrabassoon or Organ parts?
A - No, never. The Bassoon player always needs to play on the standard instrument, covering
for several other instruments, while you have a Double Bass for the lower octave notes. The
Organ I don’t like at all; beside that a typical Organ in a church is usually to flat in the
46
general tuning compared to modern instruments, the main reason for me to omit the Organ
is the fact that it has well-tempered tuning, while with a choir and the other instruments
you can produce pure intonation, which is what you actually want. So in my ears the Organ
would destroy the sound of a well-tuned chord with pure intonation. But of course you are
free to use the original Organ part for a performance if you prefer that.
Q - Do you have general guidelines for reorganization? Or standard instruments that should
play the original material of another instrument?
A - I don’t have a "fixed" system or guidelines to follow strictly. Reorganization works in
general like this: if possible, use the original instrument. To replace an instrument of the OS
which is not present in the arrangement, use a sound which is the closest possible. E.g. to
replace a brass instrument, try to use the Horn. The Oboe can be good for a Trumpet etc.
Don’t put each instrument always in it’s main register. E.g. a line of two Oboes is played by
the Oboe in the upper voice and the Flute in the lower voice, although the Flute can play
higher. The upper instrument of a passage should be the original or closest to the original
sound. When you look e.g. to Nr 7, m. 40 et seq.: there is this Trombone choral in the OS; in
the arrangement this translates to playing the Horn (as the only Brass instrument) the top
voice, "although" the Flute would be the higher instrument. But giving the Flute the top
voice here would produce a sound much farther from the original (and also creating a
dynamic misbalance).
Q - Do you have general guidelines for using reduction?
A - To find a good balance of trying to go as close as possible to the original and avoiding to let
47
play all instruments all the time, which a) will sound boring and b) will exhaust the players
(and the audience). At the same time you have to look for very typical sound combinations
in the OS, whether sometimes it is more important to keep e.f. Flute and Clarinet playing in
unison although it would not be "necessary". This depends very much of the kind of music,
on a composer’s typical sound etc.
Q - Do you have general guidelines for using elimination?
A - There is certainly an intersection to reduction. Once you want or you have to reduce that
far that you have to leave out pitches, you will follow some general principles like
eliminating the fifth in a triad, or the fifth or the third in a seventh chord, depending on the
context.
Q - Do you favor one technique over another?
A - I cant’ say this, they go hand in hand. I don’t have a set of rules laying next to my working
place.

I very much hope these answer can help you for your paper.
Best wishes,
Joachim Linckelmann

Each change from the original score is indicated in this chart. The following abbreviations have been used: OS = Original Score / BR = Brahms’s Reduction / CS = Chamber Score. Relevance is assigned by author on a subjective basis. Most instances of reorganization are labeled “Insignificant.” Most instances of reduction and elimination are labeled “Minimally Significant.” The phrase “no significant difference” when used in the Brahms’s reduction notes, indicates that the material appears as it does in the original score (but reorganized for piano).
