15. Replying again. I was a busy at the piano.

This is an enormously moving piece.

There's a piano solo version (Public domain) at IMSLP.

https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/12061/hfpn (wait 15 seconds and download)

The third movement is at the page marked 103 in the score.



I have been working on Brahms 2nd piano concerto, mostly the second and third movements. These can actually be played without orchestral accompaniment. There is a "music minus one" out there but the orchestra is synthesized and I am wary of it. Maybe some day (when I get my IRA distribution) FYI, the third movement is about as sublime as the piece in the OP. (starts with the lovely violin solo)

I got a bug to try the piano reduction of the 1st symphony. (2nd. and 3rd. movements)

In the background are the andante moderato from the 4th symphony



And the well-known 4th movement (passacaglia)
Just learned that the passacaglia is based on Bach's Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150

Never a dull moment!

Kindly note that almost all of classical music scores are off copyright and public domain, and at IMSLP, where you can also get selected recordings, Creative Commons licensed. Also at https://archive.org.

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS A MUSICAL EVENING FOR ME.
Cleaning up comes later tomorrow.
As if I needed an excuse.
