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."

One of his artistic focuses is on the piano works of Johannes Brahms, documented in a much-praised complete recording of the composer's piano works for four hands on CD, which Christian Köhn is undertaking together with his duo partner Silke-Thora Matthies. He has already published the Serenades op. 11 and 16 for piano four hands by Johannes Brahms (BA 6570/BA 6571) for Bärenreiter.
