    The old hand and the new hand. One with seriousness, the other with passion and levity. Great to watch.

    Love the V-4-2 harmony (secondary dominant) at 9:34 and their sublime, savoring approach--you can tell how much they're listening to themselves and each other and the composer.

    My favorite thing about these waltzes is how they shift from one to the next. I especially love the pivot from G sharp minor to E minor to E major (3, 4, 5), although they're all beautiful.

    The melancholy of No 16 - such a sad ending! - it triggered me to find out that Brahms completed this op. 39 in the same year as the Horntrio op. 40 - that year when his beloved mother died. I don't know whether there is a connection but it should be possible. It is a fascinating piece - two voices (the upper one in octaves) with a pizzicato bass, no chords.

      The whole cycle begins with a very joyful piece and ends in a complete anticlimax. All 16 are good but I love this last piece most together with the 5th, 7th and 12th.

      Brahms wrote a duet and a solo for this piece, hope that answers your question!

      The original is this one, for 4 hands. Later were published a first version for 2 hands, another simplified version for two hands and also z version for two pianos.

    I don't know who is really setting the tempo, but either No.2 or 3 was too fast. Waltz 3 is beautiful and should be slower, not march-like. Really don't like their choice of tempos. Brahms indicated "dolce".

      Brahms gives generally no precise tempo in this cycle, often no tempo at all but for #6 (vivace).

    What a horrible sound from the pianist on the top part. And what a lack of understanding of the music.... ruined my favorite no.15... such a beautiful and nostalgic waltz here rushed and agitato! - why is Emanuel playing with this pianist? There are a million who can do a better job

      Anna Polonsky misses both sound and spirit of this piece. But her conviction shows her to be a good musician.

      You should probably provide a reference (as in, some other recording) to show what you expect out of no. 15. I find their interpretation quite reasonable.
