Description:
The three popular Intermezzi op. 117 can be seen as the epitome of Brahms' late work for piano. Clara Schumann confessed: 'In these pieces I at last feel musical life stir once again in my soul'. Brahms reacted, as he often did, in a rather brusque manner. Although he sometimes described the three Intermezzi as being 'Wiegenlieder' (lullabies), he formally rejected this title: 'It should then say, lullaby of an unhappy mother or of a disconsolate bachelor.' The new edition of these moderately difficult Intermezzi (level of difficulty 5/6) has now been revised following the musical text of the Brahms Complete Edition, and has fingerings by Andreas Boyde.
