Rhapsodic Brahms<br />
Johannes Brahms:<br />
Two Rhapsodies op. 79<br />
for Piano<br />
BÄRENREITER URTEXT<br />
Brahms’s tempestuous “Rhapsodies” of 1879 (op. 79) are among his<br />
most frequently played works. Writing to Clara Schumann, he called<br />
them “pieces on which you can go on a proper rampage”. In fact, he<br />
had a hard time finding a suitable title for them, vacillating between<br />
“Piano Piece”, “Capriccio” (No. 1) and ”Caprices”. His hand was forced<br />
by the dedicatee Elisabeth von Herzogenberg, who welcomed the<br />
pieces with the salutation “Ye (to me) nameless ones in the nebulous<br />
garb of rhapsodies”.<br />
Now Brahms expert Christian Köhn is presenting these popular pieces<br />
in an up-to-date new edition that remains faithful to the sources and<br />
reflects the latest findings of Brahms scholarship. A reader-friendly<br />
engraving, fingering only where required, practical page-turns and<br />
notes on period performance practice meet all the needs of today’s<br />
performers.<br />
• Scholarly Urtext performing edition faithful to the sources<br />
