Johannes Brahms ： 51 Übungen für Klavier No.51 in g-moll WoO.6

No. 51 from Brahms’s 51 Exercises is a concluding study that invites the player to connect technical training with musical expression. Within its concise writing, it calls for coordinated movement between the hands and even control of every note. Rather than simply playing rapidly, it is important to maintain the flow of the beat and give each group of figures a natural sense of direction. Avoid forcing the sound from the outset; use the wrists and fingers flexibly and refine the clarity of each note. Practising at a slower tempo while preserving the continuity of resonance and motion, even in tense passages, brings out its character as an etude.
