- The 𝗣𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭 in C major, Op. 1, of Johannes Brahms was written in Hamburg in 1853, and published later that year. Despite being his first published work, he had actually composed his Piano Sonata No. 2 first, but chose this work to be his first published opus because he felt that it was of higher quality. The piece was sent along with his second sonata to Breitkopf & Härtel with a letter of recommendation from Robert Schumann. Schumann had already praised Brahms enthusiastically, and the sonata shows signs of an effort to impress in its symphonic grandeur, technical demands, and dramatic character. It was dedicated to Joseph Joachim.
0:00 - Mvt I Allegro
11:01 - Mvt II Andante (nach einem altdeutschen Minneliede)
16:59 - Mvt III Allegro molto e con fuoco - Più mosso
22:39 - Mvt IV Allegro con fuoco - Presto non troppo ed agitato
The 𝗣𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗡𝗼. 𝟮 in F♯ minor, Op. 2 of Johannes Brahms was written in Hamburg, Germany in 1852, and published the year after. Despite being his second published work, it was actually composed before his Piano Sonata No. 1 in C major, but was published later because Brahms recognized the importance of an inaugural publication and felt that the C major sonata was of higher quality. It was sent along with his first sonata to Breitkopf und Härtel with a letter of recommendation from Robert Schumann. Schumann had already praised Brahms enthusiastically, and the sonata shows signs of an effort to impress, with its technical demands and highly dramatic nature. It was dedicated to Clara Schumann.
29:25 - Mvt I Allegro non troppo, ma energico
35:31 - Mvt II Andante con espressione
41:50 - Mvt III Scherzo: Allegro - Poco più moderato
46:21 - Mvt IV Finale: Sostenuto - Allegro non troppo e rubato - Molto sostenuto
The 𝗣𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗡𝗼. 𝟯 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853 and published the following year. The sonata is unusually large, consisting of five movements, as opposed to the traditional three or four. When he wrote this piano sonata, the genre was seen by many to be past its heyday. Brahms, enamored of Beethoven and the classical style, composed Piano Sonata No. 3 with a masterful combination of free Romantic spirit and strict classical architecture. As a further testament to Brahms' affinity for Beethoven, the Piano Sonata is infused with the instantly recognizable motive from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 during the first, third, and fourth movements. The piece is dedicated to Countess Ida von Hohenthal of Leipzig.
58:34 - Mvt I Allegro maestoso
1:09:15 - Mvt II Andante. Andante espressivo - Andante molto
1:22:00 - Mvt III Scherzo. Allegro energico avec trio
1:27:11 - Mvt IV Intermezzo (Rückblick / Regard en arrière) Andante molto
1:31:37 - Mvt V Finale. Allegro moderato ma rubato
Performer: Krystian Zimerman, 1982 Deutsche Grammophon

I had a very very similar Ehrbar upright when i was young - probably still the most beautiful soulful thing I ever owned. The sound on yours brought it back to me. That piano makes you want to compose.
In the 3rd you could really see why Schumann was verybexcited about Brahms. Its a purely symphonic scale and scope of writing. And the 2nd mvt is such a gem
These Zimerman recordings are a pure gem. Thanks a lot for uploading those !
Absolutely magnificent ending of the third sonata .
This explores so many ideas and musical concepts, truly academic to listen to, music for musicians.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. The score follow along is really nice - especially the splicing for 1st and 2nd endings etc. I'm sure it took many hours. Hope to see more uploads from you! Cheers
Happy New Year!
Great video! I hope you keep uploading
Inconceivable now that Zimerman decided to delete these recordings and suppress them from the catalogue. They are some of the best versions (both in technique, and understanding) and in brilliant sound. Also excellent are the East German records from Peter Rosel which together with most of the major pieces, form an outstanding Brahms solo piano set with everything you really need. Zimerman here was in great form, although perhaps a little tiny bit thoughtful rather than spontaneous.
I used to be great fan of Zimerman's but he started playing piano mechanically in recent years. Maybe that's why he deleted these recordings, they're anything but mechanical. I'm speculating he changed his taste and became a radical perfectionist (traces of that were visible before) thus removing music from his music. His Beethoven Concertos with Rattle from a few years ago to me sound like a very good student lacking inspiration, metronomical playing without personal elements. But of course, this is just my opinion, I'm sure other people hear it differently.
@@mikeswanson7847 Actually you have hit on a good point. Haven't heard his BH Concs with Rattle. But one of his classics (Chopin Ballades) is flawless in execution, style, drama, the argument of each piece is a well-explained poem from start to finish. Think KZ's best recordings are perfectionist. You can't sustain that your whole career... perfection is great (Chopin Ballades), but letting to to mistakes and spontaneity is more exciting. Not doing so... means you can only play so many pieces perfectly.
Great vid
When you can't choose between Beethoven and Schubert, here it comes Brahms!
Thx for uploading!
시청해주셔서 감사합니다~
Hammerklavier rhythm
1:17:00 possibly the most tender music ever
0:09 this reminded me of Beethoven’s 1st symphony, near the end of the first movement’s exposition.
Another perhaps more obvious example of Beethoven having inspired Brahms here is in the opening of the first movement, which resembles the Hammerklavier opening.
It combines Hammerklavier rhythmic gesture with Waldstein harmonic structure.
How do I just now find out that Zimerman made recordings of thesr sonatas? Well ty yt algo i guess
It is not on spotify :(
Unfortunately, not on spotify :(
