J. Brahms: 6 Piano Pieces, op. 118 no. 2 in A Major: Intermezzo - Pianist in Paris

J. Brahms: 6 Piano Pieces, op. 118 no. 2 in A Major: Intermezzo - Pianist in Paris 1. Johannes Brahms composed his Six Piano Pieces, Op. 118 in 1893, near the end of his life. These intimate miniatures show a more personal and reflective side of Brahms, far from the grand scale of his symphonies and concertos. 2. The famous second piece, the Intermezzo in A Major, is one of Brahms’s most beloved piano works. 3. Brahms often used the title Intermezzo for his later piano pieces - a word meaning “between” or “in between.” 4. Although Brahms was known as a serious and traditional composer, his late piano works reveal his softer side: nostalgia, tenderness and memories of the past. 5. Fun fact: Brahms was a brilliant pianist himself and often tested his compositions at the piano. His writing for the instrument feels especially natural because he composed from the perspective of a performer. #pianomusic #JohannesBrahms #BrahmsIntermezzo #op118no2 #pianistinparis Thank you for watching!
