Product Description

The Four Pieces for Piano (German: Klavierstücke) Op. 119, are four character pieces for piano composed by Johannes Brahms in 1893. The collection is the last composition for solo piano by Brahms. Together with the six pieces from Op. 118, Op. 119 was premiered in London in January 1894.

This is my arrangement of the 1st piece , an Intermezzo.

The poetic mood of the first intermezzo from Op. 119 belies its vague title. In a letter from May 1893 to Clara Schumann, Brahms wrote:

"I am tempted to copy out a small piano piece for you, because I would like to know how you agree with it. It is teeming with dissonances!
These may [well] be correct and [can] be explainedbut maybe they wont please your palate, and now I wished, they would be less correct, but more appetizing and agreeable to your taste.
The little piece is exceptionally melancholic and to be played very slowly is not an understatement.
Every bar and every note must sound like a ritard[ando], as if one wanted to suck melancholy out of each and every one, lustily and with pleasure out of these very dissonances!
Good Lord, this description will [surely] awaken your desire!"

Clara Schumann was enthusiastic and asked him to send the remaining pieces of his new work.

The words melancholy and with pleasure aptly describe the atmosphere evoked by the falling suspended arpeggios that open the piece. The middle section (bars 1746) is in the relative key of D major, while the recapitulation returns to B minor.

Arranged wind quintet.

The Clarinet part is for Clarinet In A (Clarinet in Bb also provided)
