- The Ballades, Op. 10, are lyrical piano pieces written by Johannes Brahms during his youth. They were dated 1854 and were dedicated to his friend Julius Otto Grimm. Their composition coincided with the beginning of the composer's lifelong affection for the pianist and composer Clara Schumann, who was helping Brahms launch his career. Frédéric Chopin had written the last of his famous ballades only 12 years earlier, but Brahms approached the genre differently from Chopin, choosing to take its origin in narrative poetry more literally.
0:00 - D minor. Andante
4:51 - D major. Andante
11:36 - B minor. Intermezzo. Allegro
15:58 - B major. Andante con moto
Performer: Krystian Zimerman, 1982 Deutsche Grammophon

👏👏👏
Op.10 No.2 and No.4 are some of the "saddest" pieces written in a major key.
I love how you can tell how home he was in chorale writing.
I've been re-examining Brahms lately and I've come to the conclusion this man had his own New German School going on that was singular to himself. He was probably one of the few composers that was actually influenced by Schumann and Mendelssohn - and I mean Clara and Fanny with those two respective family names - and as conventional the structures he utilized to express his musical thoughts might be, the ideas they contain foreshadow the later 19th century French school, and beyond.
W virtue signal
A number of major composers were influenced by Schumann. E.g., Tchaikovsky (especially in his piano writing), Rachmaninov (to a lesser extent than Chopin but still considerable influence), Elgar, and Glazunov.
@@calebhu6383 I believe you're talking about Robert Schumann. He influenced practically everyone directly after him to one degree or another. Liszt, Brahms, Dvorak, Grieg, Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, and many others took direct influence from Schumann, and it is evident in the chamber music and piano concerti of many of these composers. His highly personal style encouraged the Russian 5 to take the same approach. I was actually talking about his wife Clara in my previous comment. I feel that Brahms respected her musical ideas and was influenced by them, but I don't think too many other composers did.
@@erika6651 Thank you for your clarification. I missed the part referring to Clara.
Young Zimerman has seeds of his perfectionism and sensitivity that his old self would be known for, yet filled with vigour and excitement in his playing
Beautiful I love all Brahms' piano sol works. I think they are his best work and some of t he finest compositions for the piano ever.
Zum immer wieder anhören…..
idk but i can just hear the orchestra play this its just perfect ☺
Intéressant et subtile dans toutes les composantes de la partition. Merci à vous.

Thanks for posting! I love #4 no matter who’s playing it, but my favorite performance is still Michelangeli’s live one on TH-cam.
Nice.
凄い演奏🎉
Zimerman is a pure and perfect pianist in all his interpretations. If the composers were resurrected and heard him play, they would probably say: "congratulations, that's exactly how I wanted this piece to be played."
No.
Actual piano standards are quite different from XIX century ones.
There is no such a thing as a "pure and perfect interpretation". All interpretations have their own historical clues. Ours too.
No thing exists in a vacuum.
you are delusional@@LC-bb6kn
I second that!
delusion personified @@LC-bb6kn
Well, I doubt it. Perfection, as all things in this world is only good in certain amounts, specially in music. Pure perfection sounds robotic and that’s how often Zimmerman sounds. Lacks a soul and I doubt that’s what any composer, except maybe people like Luigi Nono, Stockhausen and their contemporary ones wanted.
♥️💕💕
The phrasing is really confusing me over the barlines XD, can someone explain?!
not first : (
