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.
