Brahms Op 118-6 (Help)

on: March 29, 2006, 02:49:38 AM

So far, this is the most difficult piece i have learned. It requires a lot of energy and feeling.

Any tips?

Im using Jeno Jando´s recording as a reference.

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Tips? What do you mean?

Read the notes, articulation, agogic and all other markings by the composer. Establish an organic tempo, use both pedals judiciously, listen to lots of other Brahms works, especially chamber music, pratice it and live with it for years.

This should not be played separate from the other 5 pieces in Op. 118.

Great work.
