Brahms Intermezzo Opus 118 number 2

Hello everyone,
I'm new on the forum.
I'm a french amateur pianist living in Paris.

Here is my interpretation of the Brahms Intermezzo Opus 118 number 2 :

Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it...

Hi Ronan,

Welcome to the forum! I hope you stick around!

Congratulations on your recording of this wonderful little piece!

For me, this performance remains unsurpassed:



Notice how the LH forms an important, organic part of the overall musical texture!

+1.

Also see/hear (my personal favorite and inspiration. I much prefer the 'old guard' on these matters. GG is great, but old Heinrich weaves magic!)

Thank you, you're very right, I should now try something more personnal and less common.
The GG version is awesome.
