Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner This year, let us mark the Seventh of May.

I'm still slaving away at Opus 119. I especially love his 1st symphony and 2nd piano concerto. His music is so luscious and complex. Happy Birthday Johannes!

I absolutely love Brahms, my favourite piano works being the Ballades Op. 10. The harmonies are so rich and sad...

The Requiem is also well worth a listen, especially the version with two pianos.

Currawong, thanks for sharing those clips. I wasn't familiar with any of them, but they are all gorgeous. Interesting that the "Immer leiser..." begins with what seems like a direct quotation of the 3rd movement of the 2nd piano concerto, and I hear the concerto throughout. And interestingly, the first few measures of the cello sonata almost seems like a quotation of the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Op 2 No 2.
