🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： 51 Übungen für Klavier No.15 in C-Dur WoO.6

This concise and highly practical study is included in Brahms’s collection of exercises. It is important to shape each short unit as part of a continuous flow, maintaining a steady pulse while refining the evenness and clarity of every note. Rather than rushing the tempo, the performer should release unnecessary tension in the wrists and arms, carefully developing finger independence and subtle differences in dynamics. The points to listen for are the succession of musical figures, their divisions, and the direction of the sound, rather than a large-scale dramatic development. Avoiding a mechanical approach and breathing naturally through each unit brings musical expression to the study’s practical purpose.
