Brahms, Johannes : Six Piano Pieces, Op. 118

Les huit Klavierstücke op. 76 virent en majorité le jour durant l?été 1878, dans la résidence d?été de Brahms à Pörtschach, au bord du Wörthersee.

Theodor Billroth, un ami intime du compositeur, fit l?éloge des nouvelles ?uvres en ces termes: «Ce sont des pièces somptueuses, belles et intéressantes à jouer.

Elles tombent si bien sous les doigts de tout musicien quelque peu habitué à la technique de Schumann et de Chopin, que c?est un réel plaisir de les travailler.»

Comme le volume «Klavierstücke» est paru en 2011 dans l?édition complète des ?uvres de Brahms (HN 6014), nous remplaçons l?ancien HN 118 par ce nouveau volume réunissant les «pièces somptueuses» dans le texte musical de l?édition complète et accompagnées d?informations révélatrices relatives à leur genèse et leur publication. / [Pièces pour piano op. 76] / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

When his contemporaries heard the works that Johannes Brahms had composed during his summer holiday in Ischl in 1893 - the Piano Pieces op. 118 -, they were delighted. Clara Schumann was one of the first to be allowed to get to know the new pieces, and she attested that they contained 'a wealth of sentiment in the smallest of dimensions?. Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were 'perfect for slowly absorbing in solitude and tranquillity?. Opus 118 contains two of the composer's bestknown miniatures - the Intermezzo in A major and the Romanze in F major. We particularly recommend this volume, based on the musical text in the New Brahms Complete Edition, to all those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of Brahms' late works. / Piano

Editor: Katrin Eich Fingering: Andreas Boyde Brahms mainly composed the eight Piano Pieces op. 76 in summer 1878 in the summer resort of Pörtschach at Lake Wörth. Theodor Billroth, a close friend, was enthusiastic about the new works: 'These are magnificent pieces, beautiful and interesting to play. They lie so well under the hand for those who are a little used to Schumann's and Chopin's technique that it is a pleasure to practise them.' As the volume 'Piano Pieces' was published in 2011 as part of the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition (HN 6014), we are now replacing the previous volume HN 118 with this new one, presenting these 'magnificent pieces' in the musical text of the Complete Edition, accompanied by revealing commentaries detailing their genesis and publication.
