Hi gvans,

This is a very charming rendition here.  Brahms seems always to have been a "mature composer" in his concepts, which resulted in those rich musical lines present in this work too.  Sometimes his music is more difficult than it sounds, especially for pianists, as he so often thought in orchestral terms. Very well played.
