What part are you having trouble with? We're not here to do your homework for you, but if you're stuck somewhere, there are many who can help.

Roduf, as English isn't your first language, searching Google may not be very helpful, but there are resources available. Here's a short extract I found (I also found a doctoral dissertation which discusses' Brhams and other late romantic music in great depth). Happy hunting.

In 1880, Johannes Brahms composed the Rhapsody in G Minor, Op. 79 No. 2. A rhapsody typically involves a narrative element and is often of heroic nature. Brahms wrote several rhapsodies for piano, and the one in G Minor is one of his most famous. This work is written in sonata-allegro form. Brahms was one of the greatest masters of sonata-allegro form in the nineteenth century. Brahms was also a great master of Romantic harmony. Op. 79 No. 2 embodies the best of Brahms' ability to balance an emotional harmonic and melodic language within the boundaries of Classical form.[/b] I

I put in a lot of work on this but had to
drop it in favor of other pieces--too
difficult to get up to fluency. I can't
give a harmonic analysis, only a general
performance-oriented one.

What attracted me to it in the first place
was its seemingly un-Brahmsian charater. This
seems more lyrical and melodic throughout
than your typical turgid Brahms composition--
a truly rhapsodic work (when you think
of Brahms, probably the last word that
would come to mind is "rhapsodic").
I have Glenn Gould's recording, and there
too some uncharacteristic elements: very
untypical repertoire for Gould, and
untypically lyrical playing for him.
(Note: this is apparently heavily
edited electronically, by Gould himself,
so it's technically perfect playing
and maybe not what he was actually
capable of.)

As far as the structural aspects are concerned,
there are many sections of a repetitive
nature, in variation. But it is all handled
well, and moreover, the piece moves
brisky from start to finish--again,
uncharaceristic with Brahms--so the
listener doesn't get bored.

Technically, this is difficult, like
all pieces with a strong melodic line.
You can't b.s. your way through this like
you can with some of the more nebulous-sounding
Brahms works.
