About Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) wrote his late piano pieces — the four sets opp. 116, 117, 118 and 119 — in 1892, when he was 59 years old. They distil his lifelong experience as a composer for the piano, drawing together the lyrical, contrapuntal and rhythmic concerns that had occupied him for decades. The pieces are concentrated and intimate, contrasting with Brahms's earlier vast sonatas and variation sets.

They reveal two sides of Brahms: the introspective, lyrical voice expressed in the intermezzi and capriccios, and his typically fearsome technical demands. Brahms is considered one of the great masters of the late Romantic era, and these miniatures are among his most personal and profound utterances for the keyboard.
