J. Brahms - Rhapsody Op. 79 no. 2 in G minor - Nico de Napoli
J. Brahms, Rhapsodies, Op. 79 Rhapsody no. 2 in G minor Performed by Nico de Napoli. #NicoDeNapoli #classicalmusic #brahms #balladen The Ballades, Op. 10, are lyrical piano pieces written by Johannes Brahms during his youth. They were dated 1854 and were dedicated to his friend Julius Otto Grimm. Their composition coincided with the beginning of the composer's lifelong affection for the pianist and composer Clara Schumann, who was helping Brahms launch his career. Frédéric Chopin had written the last of his famous ballades only 12 years earlier, but Brahms approached the genre differently from Chopin, choosing to take its origin in narrative poetry more literally. Brahms's ballades are arranged in two pairs of two, the members of each pair being in parallel keys. The first ballade was inspired by a Scottish poem "Edward" found in a collection Stimmen der Völker in ihren Liedern compiled by Johann Gottfried Herder. It is also one of the best examples of Brahms's bardic or Ossianic style; its open fifths, octaves, and simple triadic harmonies are supposed to evoke the sense of a mythological past. --------------------------------------------- If you need help finding sheet music or want to help the channel?, you can become a sponsor of my YouTube channel "Listen to Musical Notes" at the link: ? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC54kCZYy58ZfUZjgbq7fhIQ/join or make donations of any amount to the development of the project in Paypal: ? https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=SEJQMB4BQUPU2 You can also click on the "$Thanks$" button under any of my videos.
