🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： 51 Übungen für Klavier No.8a-b in C-Dur WoO.6

Presented as Nos. 8a and 8b, this is a short study with a clear pedagogical character. Working with a limited range of musical material, it calls for independent fingers, even tone, and careful attention to balance. Studying the two pieces in succession makes it possible to identify both their shared technical aims and their individual differences. Avoid playing the notes mechanically; preserve a sense of direction within each phrase and maintain a natural musical line, taking care not to lose clarity even in soft playing. A steady tempo and relaxed wrists and arms allow a sense of musical flow to emerge from the technical practice.
