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.
當約翰內斯·布拉姆斯於1893年夏日在伊施爾度假期間創作的《鋼琴小品集》(作品118號)被同時代的人聽到時,他們欣喜不已。克拉拉·舒曼是最早獲準聆聽這些新作的人之一,她稱讚這些作品「篇幅雖短,卻蘊含著豐富的情感」。
菲利普·斯皮塔恰如其分地評價這些作品「非常適合在獨處和寧靜中慢慢品味」。作品118號收錄了作曲家最著名的兩首小品-A大調間奏曲和F大調浪漫曲。我們特別推薦這本以《新布拉姆斯全集》樂譜的樂譜集,給所有想要深入了解布拉姆斯晚期作品的讀者。
