Includes the following individual partsPiano

The piano pieces opp. 116-119 were written in 1892/93 and are the last collections of pieces which Brahms wrote for the instrument. Particularly noteworthy is his use of the “small form” accompanied by a heightened increase in musical expression compared to his earlier works.

A renewed critical evaluation of all known sources has resulted in small deviations from previous readings.
