The Second Serenade has five movements, including two inner dance movements, a scherzo and a minuet. The darkly hued slow movement is noteworthy for its rich counterpoint, expansive ternary form and harmonic adventurousness.\" (Grove Online.)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093657440415,"sku":"17666","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Brahms_Serenade_17666_2.jpg?v=1722189492","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/17666-brahms-johannes-serenade-fur-kleines-orchester-op-16-from-the-collection-of-edward-speyer","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
