Three Intermezzi op. 117-The three popular Intermezzi Op. 117 can be seen as the epitome of Brahms? late work for Piano. Clara Schumann confessed: ?In these pieces I at last feel musical life stir once again inmy soul?. Brahms reacted as he often did in a rather brusque manner. Although he sometimes described the three Intermezzi as being ?Wiegenlieder? (lullabies) he formally rejected this title: ?It should thensay lullaby of an unhappy mother or of a disconsolate bachelor.? The new edition of these moderately difficult Intermezzi has now been revised following the musical text of the Brahms Complete Edition and hasfingerings by Andreas Boyde.
