Summary of This Score
This collection brings together a major selection of piano pieces by Johannes Brahms, covering an essential period of his pianistic writing. You will find the Piano Pieces op. 76, the 2 Rhapsodies op. 79, as well as the Fantasies op. 116 (1-7), pages particularly rich in contrasts and character. The set is completed by the 3 Intermezzi op. 117, then the Piano Pieces op. 118 and Piano Pieces op. 119, often considered the core of Brahms's "late" period: a dense, intimate writing where phrasing artistry, mastery of sound layers, and voice leading are at the forefront.
Designed for pianists wishing to build or consolidate their Romantic repertoire, this score allows for exploring varied forms (intermezzo, rhapsody, fantasy) while working on key aspects such as legato management, hand independence, polyphonic balance, and rubato breathing. The musicological edition prepared by Monica Steegmann provides a rigorous reading framework, particularly appreciated for study, teaching, and concert preparation.
