Johannes Brahms - Waltzes (four hands)
At the time Brahms composed the Waltzes, Op. 39, he had just taken up residence in Vienna.
The Waltzes could be regarded a tribute to two fellow Viennese composers:
Schubert, whose music Brahms was in the process of editing, and Johann Strauss, whom Brahms was known to admire very much: he on one occasion lamented that the Blue Danube waltz was âunfortunately not by Johannes Brahmsâ. The waltzes first appeared in the four-hand version, then two years later in a version for solo piano. They were dedicated to Dr. Eduard Hanslick (1825-1904), a famous Viennese music critic. |
