Brahms, Johannes - 3 Intermezzi Op 117 Piano Solo *Wise Publications sing and playThe 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 in my 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 then say, lullaby of an unhappy mother or of a disconsolate bachelor.
