BRAHMS PIANOFORTE MUSIC (Second Series)
Played by HOWARD-JONES
Waltzes from Op. 39 (not played in previous
Brahms Week). Nos. 7, 8, 14, 9, 12, 16, 13
SINCE the time when the German country-dance became the waltz of the ballroom, has any composer of importance existed who has not written waltzes ? With some of the greatest composers, their waltzes have been among their most lovable compositions. Probably many people would feel that Brahms never wrote more beautiful music than in some of his waltzes. Yet, strangely enough, some of the best of them are not at all frequently heard.
Tonight we are to hear a selection from the sixteen widely varied waltzes of Op. 39.
