Particularly noteworthy is his use of 'small forms' accompanied by a further increase in musical expression compared to his earlier works. In November 1892 Clara Schumann, probably the secret dedicatee of these pieces, confided to her diary that they were 'a true source of enjoyment, everything, poetry, passion, rapture, intimacy, full of the most marvellous effects [...]. In these pieces I at last feel musical life re-enter my soul, and I play once more with true devotion.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Six Piano Pieces, op. 118, include four intermezzos, a ballad and a romance. They were composed in summer 1893 in the Austrian resort of Bad Ischl, where Brahms had written the Fantasies, op. 116 (BA 9628), and Three Fantasies, op. 117 (BA 9629), the previous year. Once again Clara Schumann was allowed to try out the pieces, which she greeted as 'treasures': Brahms, she said, had given expression to 'a wealth of feeling within the narrowest of confines'. Indeed, the frequently played pieces of op. 118 reveal his musical cosmos in concentrated form with kaleidoscopic variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe editor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChristian Köhn teaches piano at the Musikhochschule in Detmold. One of his specialties is the piano music of Johannes Brahms. Together with his duet partner Silke-Thora Matthies, he is a prize-winner of the Munich Competition and has released the world's first complete recording of Brahms's works for piano duet. In addition to the Serenades for piano four-hands, opp. 11 and 16 (BA 6570 and 6571), he has already edited many of Brahms's solo piano works for Bärenreiter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-value teasertext\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e- Reliable musical text incorporating all available sources\u003cbr\u003e- Spacious layout on the page with practical page turns\u003cbr\u003e- Ideal for lessons with advanced learners\u003cbr\u003e- Added fingering\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"json\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-value orderid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003eEdition no.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003eBA09630\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-value artismn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003eISMN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e9790006536993\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrices and availability subject to change without notice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Baerenreiter-Verlag Karl Voetterle GmbH \u0026 Co.
