Romantic. "No opus number" is what Brahms gave his astonished publisher to understand, when he offered him the Hungarian Dances for publication in 1869. He placed a great deal of importance on the fact that he had merely "set" popular Hungarian melodies and not composed new works as such. As true as this reservation is, it did not affect the success of these works. The Hungarian Dances are today without a doubt amongst Brahms' best-known compositions. Brahms himself made an arrangement of the dan...

Romantic. The piano intermezzi by Brahms, some of his last compositions, are sets of independent character. Stylistically, they are lyrical and melodic, have an extremely wide emotional range, and are often considered some of the finest character pieces written in the 19th century. Includes: • No. 1 in E-flat major • No. 2 in B-flat minor • No. 3 in C# minor (sample page)

Romantic. When Brahms's contemporaries heard the Piano Pieces Op. 118 that he had composed during his summer holiday in Ischl in 1893, 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." -the publisher

Johannes Brahms' late piano works in the form of the two editions 514800 (paperbound) and 51480037 (clothbound) have been a cornerstone of the Henle catalog ever since the early 1950s.

Romantic. Johannes Brahms' summer sojourn in 1893 in Bad Ischl was productive. Alongside the pieces op. 118, he also wrote his last cycle of piano pieces, opus 119. The composer wrote to Clara Schumann of the opening work, saying that it was teeming withdissonances and that: "every measure and every note must sound like a ritardando, as if one wanted to suck the melancholy out of each single one, with lust and pleasure out of the aforementioned dissonances!" Yet opus 119 contains something for ev...
Brahms mainly composed the eight Piano Pieces op. 76 in summer 1878 in the summer resort of P”rtschach at Lake W”rth. 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 ...

Romantic. In 1879, about ten years before Johannes Brahms composed his late, melancholic piano pieces, he wrote the two Rhapsodies op. 79 - two markedly passionate and comparatively extensive works. In a letter to the convalescent Clara Schumann, Brahms spoke in a typically understated fashion about the two pieces "with which you can really run riot and test whether the course of treatment has actually had any effect". We prefer to agree with Brahms' friend Elisabeth von Herzogenberg: "the fact t...
The earliest surviving original composition of Johannes Brahms, Scherzo, Op. 4 in E-flat minor, was composed in 1851 when Brahms was only 18 years old. This brilliant scherzo, with its two trios and a coda, remains one of Brahms's larger solo piano works. Internationally renowned concert pianist Joseph Banowetz edited this work with a special insight as one of his teachers, Carl Friedberg, studied with Clara Schumann, a close friend of Brahms. - the publisher (sample pages)

During the latter part of his life, Brahms wrote only sets of relatively short pieces. With their formal and stylistic perfection, they are among the most valuable of the late-Romantic additions to piano repertoire. Included in this 128-page edition are 30 pieces by Brahms, preceded by a helpful introduction which contains definitions of the ballade, rhapsody, capriccio and intermezzo. - the publisher (sample pages)
