Johannes Brahms - Documentary about the German Composer | Part 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2016
- Brahms wrote his first but unpublished violin sonata in 1853, when he was 19 years old. He wrote it for a tour of North Germany with the Exarch Hungarian violinist. It was to turn out to be the most significant year of his early life with echoes that will ring on for the rest of his days. In addition to his own sonata, the programm for the tour included Beethoven's C minor sonata Opus 30, the Vieuxtemps concerto in E and Ernst Elegie. Brahms played the entire programm from memory. He did not even take the piano part of his own first sonata with him with the unhappy result that the manuscript is lost and the world has been deprived of a significant early work by Brahms.

As a teen, my first conducting teacher in the summer of 1974, was Dr. Richard Lert, also a godson of Brahms and later friend.
Thank you immensely for giving us the opportunity to explore more deeply into the beautiful humanity and divine musical talents of these three astounding souls.
“Pinchas Zukrman plays the G major Sonata” … and fabulously so. He even makes it sound as if there’s a pianist playing too :-)
(ps. the pianist is Marc Neikrug.)
He plays the violin so well he can make it sound like he is a different person who is also playing the piano!?!
I think the point is that no where is the pianist credited.
@@renzo6490 Correct 🙂
I adore this documentary! Thank you ever so much for uploading. I also adore the narrator ! He is beyond perfect, as are the background images, and needless to say, the violin and piano music of Brahms!!! I have emailed this utterly beautiful and perfect documentary to many a student and friend, and have watched it more times than I can remember, with undiminished pleasure!
Hello , how are you doing?
I saw this documentary on television many years ago and it was the first time I ever heard the scherzo of the FAE sonata and I have loved it ever since. Zukerman and Neikrug are wonderful here. Thanks for posting.
Thank God that Clara Schumann lovingly saved the Scherzo written by for the F.A.E. Sonata,It was found among her precious documents (letters from Brahms her journals, Schumann's letters etc.) after her death and was published in the 1920's. The 19 year old Brahms did not even think it worthy of publication. And yet for all of us Brahms lovers all over the world, it is pure Brahms from start to finish. and we are all the richer for it.No wonder that Clara Schumann wrote in the journal on the day that she first heard him play his music,"It seems as though the good God has sent him into the world ready made."
È sempre bello e meraviglioso ascoltare la Musica di Brahms: tocca il cuore. Mi sento trasportare su altri Mondi "più puri e incontaminati".
Grazie per aver pubblicato questo documentario ❤
Buongiorno Mondo❤ Pace e Amore ❤
Such a sensitive and delightful film! I recall reading in the cover notes, of all places, as recordings were moving from 78s to LPs, that Brahms had played piano in a brothel 😂 Uh...no. But I enjoyed the story as a kid, much as I loved Brahms when I was young. It, oddly, added to his mystique in my eyes.
Scott Joplin played piano in brothels (and Churches) in case that's any consolation ;-)

Clara Wieck was not only a "fine pianist, she was also a very good composer and one of the best pianists of her time!
Brahms was such an orchestrator and German music at its best!
Tears of sadness. Tears of joy. Such a beautiful man.
A wonderful film, full of sensitiveness and passion.
Fantastic performance of Brahms ,loved the documentary
A lovingly crafted documentary. Absolutely Marvellous Playing. Would there were more like this.
Terrifically uplifting. Very many thanks.
There was some soul-melting music in there. Thank you for uploading, these films are an absolute delight.
Again THANK YOU Allegro Films for one more great documentary. I am truly great-full. (Holland dec. 2022 )
Thank you, this documentary has just taken the Sunday evening blues away. What a lovely documentary. Much appreciated.
Haha, I feel this as its Sunday. And same for me.
One of the most beautiful documentaries ever made !I adore this one .
Hello this is very nice ! How are you doing?
Awesome, so far my favorite composers are mozart, brahms, and frans liszt becasue he was very fascinating. And bach , his music is beautfiul.
In that G major sonata reveals his soul and true nature, perhaps more than anywhere else.
Best interpretation of the G Major Sonata. This remember me in deepest moment why I play violin.
I'm very happy to see your documentaries posted here.
Thank you for this.
Young Brahms wins the handsomest composer award, hands down (maaaaybe young Liszt? But Brahms could have been a movie star).
Kilcho
aleister crowley young franz schubert though...
too short for a movie star
aleister crowley ?
And yet such sweetness and humility!
I have a soft spot for the F.A.E. Sonata. Although it is quite clear when listening to it, that it was written by three rather than one person, it is still quite an astonishing work.
Beautiful and elegant
Hello ,how are you doing?
The (sadly unacknowledged) accompanist is Marc Neikrug.
Fantastic documentary other than beethoven brahma my second favorite composer ever his first symphony and violin concerto are arguably the greatest in music symphony only riveled by beethovens symphonies and his violin concerto
what a treat this is! Bravo Christopher Nupen.
labor of love...muses all around him...around us
Very exceptional , wonderful thank you for sharing.
Hello,how are you doing?
Have never seen a Brahms documentary :)
Loved the documentary and a fantastic performances
2022: Brahms Piano Sonata: It was inspired while awaiting to meet his girl- Friend in the Forrest! There are motifs deeply soulful that cause tearful real tears if acutely listened to ! All themes in his piano intermezzo and Rhapsodies have a yearning quality to the phrasing, (ie., questioned and answered).
This documentary is wonderful. Of course the music itself is magnificent. My only peeve is I was hoping for more information about Brahms. I guess there needed to be some kind of balance between music and life story. I know/have heard much of his music, but I've never heard or read much regarding his life. All-in-all, a very documentary.
The music is absolutely beautiful
I love this playing. Beautiful
Great video, thank you so much!
Marvelous!
Thank you
of course it's a sweet, superficial sketch-docu-bio, but the subtitle of part 1 says it's about the violin and viola sonatas, all of which were (as everybody knows) written long after schumann's death: this 1st part of the lovely, superficial sketch-docu-bio features in prominent audio foreground extracts from those late works as if they were music the 20-something year-old brahms was composing at the time of schumann's death--this is a typical blindspot of certain composer-docus which are put together by people who know their journalism but not the music catalog of the composer, and use the music as background...sound track...wallpaper... ("it's just a movie")--if you want something scholarly, expert and deeply moving check out michael parloff: "brahms and the schumanns" 2 parts, on youtube
Thanks, it can be tough to navigate around all the malarkey that the algorithms bring to the forefront these days.
Who is the pianist? This is a sonata "Für Pianoforte und Violine". Before even playing or listening (not to mention when you play or hear it), the title already suggest the importance of the piano part, so I think the pianist must be mentioned equally prominent as the violinist!
Is their a full recording of the song used in the intro I can listen to?
Wounderful thank you!
Why include 2 minutes 45 seconds of applause?
Very much music, which is wonderful.
Very little documentary material, which is disappointing.
Fantastic Documentary. A bit too much music, I feel - maybe a little less and more narration would make it perfect :)
It is probably greedy to ask, but is there a chance Part II will be posted? In any event, thanks for Part I!
Part 2 is already available here: th-cam.com/video/suRvxC4VfK8/w-d-xo.html
On the 5th January you will be able to see the third and last part of the documentary (see description)
Thanks a bunch, Allegro Films.
Terrence nice to meet you
is there a recording of the first piece in this video? (1:21) i can only find the original lieder version.
What's the name of the very first piece that plays while the note is read in the very beginning before the key movements?
I want to know as well I can’t figure it out
Smooth too
I really like his music.
What's the title of the piece of the very beggining of this documentary?
Thank you for uploading lovely biography. At 21.50 what is the name of the place?
Thatsthatsthatsthats
Ok. The first movement starts at 25:50!
This is not really a documentary in the usual sense about Brahms but rather should be entitled "Brahms and the Schumanns" or "Brahms and Clara Schumann [and the genesis of the Violin Sonata in G Major Sonata]" or some such with a performance of the G Major Sonata. Excellent sensitive performance. Very interesting but not as expected.
Evergreen
Oh, yes, where is part two?
This young man is Pinchas Zukerman, correct?
Yes, years ago, in his youth.

There is a lost Brahms Violin sonata?
Is in dvd this documental? Or with spanish subtitles?
Unfortunately this film is not available on DVD, but we activated the community contributions so everyone can add Spanish subtitles.
Yes, he was very handsome as a young man.
❤
Which is the song that is played on 5:28?
Brahmz Scherzo from FAE Sonata
Who is the superb narrator?
DAMN!!!! He was creepier back then
The pianist, please?
Por favor, incluyan subtítulos en español, gracias
Hi everybody. somebody knows what is the work that opens this first part of the documental here presented?
emilio luz The beginning of the third movement of the G major sonata for violin and piano.
It is song by Brahms, but the melody is played on the violin(at the start of this beautiful documentary).. It is based on a poem written by his godson Felix Schumann when Felix ,the most gifted of Robert and Clara Schumann's children, was just 19 years old.Clara had sent the poem to Brahms, asking what he thought of it.Brahms' reply was to write one of his most beautiful songs to it.Felix spent many,many happy hours playing this song and singing Brahms' melody.
I wonder if Aussie actor, Heath Ledger looked like Brahms because they shared incarnations of the same soul. Gee I hope not if those two couldn't get off the hook there's no hope for an ordinary bloke like me.
a very interesting observation, evon. life is strange, no?
Thank you for pointing out the resemblance ! Love both men for their looks and their art.
Esoteric fu-fu. Stop sharing bullshit...
Please, translate to Spanish ir put subtitles. Thanks

Como siempre, se repite lo mismo, un video que, los que no sabemos inglés, no podemos disfrutar. Ni siquiera lo han SUBTITULADO. En fin, una PENA. Es que es tan complicado, tecnológicamente hablando, hacerlo...?! Por favor, que alguien haga algo y que quien pueda, no se quede de brazos cruzados. Muchas gracias.
The work of Brahms is still very boring to me perhaps because I am not a musician. I have tried many times to hear what makes him so beloved but I have yet to find it...Maybe it is just a matter of taste.....
I was the same way in my younger days. Then one day, something just "clicked" and Brahms became one of my all time favourite composers. I think there is even a term for this change of opinion the "Brahms Epihany". There is a subtle depth and emotional intensity in Brahms mixed intimately with an extreme logic and craftsmanship. There is really no one else in music who mixes emotion and intellect so perfectly, except for the greatest of them all....JS Bach
I was once in your position, now I thank God for Brahms
I could never "get" Brahms when I was a young music student. Now I am astonished by every note. I think,for me, it took a lot of life experience to "mature" to his level of understanding. Its like suddenly getting the right glasses and seeing everything clearly and with a new depth. I identify so entirely with his music now and have it with me every day.
I felt the same way, and I AM a musician! I started with his symphonies, and found them un-melodic and dense, with the exception of the 4th movement of his first symphony, which is kind of an ode to Beethoven. Then took a class on his lieder (songs) of which he wrote many, and lived off the publishing income most of his life. You have to listen for motifs and their development, more than actual melodies. And they are closely related to the rhythms of the words and stanzas of the poems (accented like English) of some great romantic poets. But I still had a hard time with, to my ear, the harshness of the German language, and German singers. My epiphany came when I heard some lieder sung by Monserrat Alvedra, a Spanish soprano, who interpreted the songs with a lyrical sense without the rough edges the kept me from perceiving and feeling the emotional content of the music. From there, I learned how to listen for the motifs and their development into internal conversations as Brahms's harmonic structure developed. I don't think he published a sonata before he was forty years old. He said he felt the giant footsteps of Beethoven hard to fill, and he wrote "only" 4 symphonies, the first when he was in his fifties. If you start with a few lieder, you will soon find yourself understanding his mature works. May I suggest: Piano concerto in D Minor, and the Violin concerto in D. You may not like the violin concerto, but you won't be bored. But even in Brahms day, he was already considered old-fashioned as the Romantic movement was all but over. There were two camps in German music at the end of the 19th C., Brahmsian and Wagnerian. But to be truthful, I find Mahler to be boring! It is just a matter of taste.
You have to dig deep his Hungarian dances his piano concertos his double concerto his overtures his songs and 4 symphonies start with those and then his sonatas lieders requiem and then his quintents and piano trio's
If anyone wants a palate-cleanser after all of this hagiography-and wants to hear works other than violin sonatas-I highly recommend “Brahms and the Little Singing Girls” (hint: that has nothing to do with a choir of pre-pubescent females).
