Sometimes we call it “everybody’s favorite piece” and it is, indeed, a gem of perfection in proportion and and compositional craft.

Brahms is a Romantic spirit constrained by a Classical intellect

[@profsmog3406]

Not at all

This piece has haunted me for many years, eternally evasive yet pierces the soul.

[@Poeme340]

Wonderful analysis of this heartbreaking piece. The contrast between the delicate first theme and the deeply passionate second theme is pure genius. Thank you!👍😊

[@mariapap8962]

Wonderful analysis of Brahms's probably most beautiful work. Thank you!

[@carlnikolov]

I remember seeing Brahms spectacles he used for composition in his old age... They are at the music museum in Vienna

Dear Victor, It's so nice to hear your wonderful and pithy comments on this extraordinary piece. I'm coming back to this piece after many years so the timing is perfect. I've loved your playing for years. I've seen you live twice at the FCS MN 1998 and 2003. You were always kind and gracious backstage afterwards. It's always an amazing musical experience when you play. Best Regards.
