  • The middle Intermezzo in the Op. 117 set is more restless than the outer ones, but still shows much nostalgia and introspection. Here we taker a proper look at the original and pianistic textures that makes this piece flow so seductively. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

    "get these darker aspects of music from Brahms"
    Next contour is there, straight note values, in major the complete attire, one core idea
    Note the change to new Notes
    Then development section, experimental ideas
    Going C flat (Neapolitan Chord)
    Finally heavy melody
    A fresh shape know realm of possibilities harmonically
    Finally Coda D flat to b flat
    Diminando multiricharando
    Going back to tragedy
    Thank you for providing high quality education for free

    For me the challenge with this piece is tempo. He notates 32nd notes in 3/8, which would imply agitation, but then gives direction “andante non troppo”, which suggests not too much motion. I think the key is “expressivo”, allowing the tempo to ebb and flow with the material, as you do with your performance. Good job.

    Excellent contribution to the discussion about this profound piece. And note that only at the very end do we ever hear the tonic chord in root position.

      Brahms is never easy to play, work slowly and patiently, and enjoy the process. I' 'm now working on this one too, it's very difficult, and hope to finish it one day...

    The way it's notated is a huge pet peeve of mine. Like, did Brahms enjoy all those triple beams sticking in his eyes? Or did he enjoy writing them by hand??? Not to mention counting the rhythm...

    The deceptive cadence from F7 to G-flat minor at 5:58 sounds very Schubertian to me. Brahms must have learned a lot from Schubert's chromatic harmonies.

    In that Gb minor false cadence, why do you think it's spelled with an A-natural rather than a Bbb? And yet near the end of the first section in the arpeggio it's spelled with the Bbb. Is that just an editorial quirk or does it have some meaning?

    такой вроде большой дядя, и не знает что мелодию и аккомпанемент надо играть разным звуком. мелодию погромче, аккомпанемент потише.
    ну а всей братии которая ставит лайки и восторгается, привет от сотен выдающихся пианистов 20 века которых конечно же никак нигде нельзя послушать, чтобы получить представление о том как играется подобная музыка
