Myra Hess (piano)
Brahms's three piano sonatas are all youthful works. The last and finest of them, in F minor, was completed towards the end of 1853, when he was twenty. It is a work of sombre power, in five movements. The first is marked Allegro maestoso. The second movement, Andante, is prefaced by a quotation from Sternau, of which the following is a translation : ' Twilight falls and the moon shines, while Heaven joins two hearts in love.' After a brilliant Scherzo (Allegro energico) the theme of the Andante recurs in a modified form, in an Intermezzo sub-titled Riickblick (Retrospect). The extended finale is marked Allegro moderato ma rubato.
