The piano pieces op. 116 to 119 were composed in 1892/93 and are the last collections that Brahms dedicated to the instrument. In terms of composition, the turn to the small form is particularly remarkable here, which goes hand in hand with a further increase in musical expression compared to his earlier works. Clara Schumann, probably the secret dedicatee of the piano pieces, wrote in her diary in November 1892: a true source of pleasure, everything, poetry, passion, rapture, intimacy, full of the most wonderful sound effects [...] In these pieces I finally feel musical life drawing into my soul again and play with true devotion once more.
Clara Schumann enthusiastically described the Fantasias op. 116, composed in the summer of 1892 in Bad Ischl, Austria, as wonderfully original piano pieces, four dreamy intermezzi with three deeply passionate capricci. The former are moderately difficult to play, while the capricci demand virtuoso skills.

The editor
Christian Köhn teaches at the Detmold University of Music. One of his artistic focuses is on the piano works of Johannes Brahms. Together with his duo partner Silke-Thora Matthies, he won prizes at the ARD Music Competition in Munich and recorded the world's first complete recording of all of Johannes Brahms' works for piano duo. In addition to the Serenades op. 11 and 16 for piano four hands (BA 6570/BA 6571), he has also published numerous works for solo piano by Johannes Brahms for Bärenreiter.
