Piano Concerto No. 2

(opening)

Written in 1881, Brahms dedicated this concerto to one of his favorite teachers. The opening is performed by French horns and cellos. Be sure to play with a warm sound, just like these instruments.

Serenade in A Major

Serenades are songs of love; their name is derived from the Italian word for “calm” — sereno. Play the notes smoothly, conveying a sense of calm. Use the quiet piano dynamic to come to a gentle end.

Symphony No. 4

(opening)

The fourth and last symphony was premiered in 1885 with Brahms himself conducting the orchestra. It quickly became an audience favorite and is still one of his most popular works. A key to practicing: there is a repeated pattern in the left-hand fingerings.
