For me the challenge with this piece is tempo. He notates 32nd notes in 3/8, which would imply agitation, but then gives direction “andante non troppo”, which suggests not too much motion. I think the key is “expressivo”, allowing the tempo to ebb and flow with the material, as you do with your performance. Good job.

Excellent contribution to the discussion about this profound piece. And note that only at the very end do we ever hear the tonic chord in root position.

Brahms is never easy to play, work slowly and patiently, and enjoy the process. I' 'm now working on this one too, it's very difficult, and hope to finish it one day...

The deceptive cadence from F7 to G-flat minor at 5:58 sounds very Schubertian to me. Brahms must have learned a lot from Schubert's chromatic harmonies.

The way it's notated is a huge pet peeve of mine. Like, did Brahms enjoy all those triple beams sticking in his eyes? Or did he enjoy writing them by hand??? Not to mention counting the rhythm...

In that Gb minor false cadence, why do you think it's spelled with an A-natural rather than a Bbb? And yet near the end of the first section in the arpeggio it's spelled with the Bbb. Is that just an editorial quirk or does it have some meaning?

In trying to master this piece, I've been struck by its fleeting nature. The melody notes are hardly ever held longer than the other triple-beam notes they are part of, making them barely rise above the flow of the music. Many performers simply disregard this and hold those notes to make the melody more obvious. I don't believe this was Brahms' intention.

такой вроде большой дядя, и не знает что мелодию и аккомпанемент надо играть разным звуком. мелодию погромче, аккомпанемент потише. ну а всей братии которая ставит лайки и восторгается, привет от сотен выдающихся пианистов 20 века которых конечно же никак нигде нельзя послушать, чтобы получить представление о том как играется подобная музыка
