Johannes Brahms ： Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes No.15 in G-Dur Op.65a-15

The fifteenth and final number of Neue Liebeslieder is a piano duet built on the flowing triple meter of the waltz, combining an appealing melody with lively rhythmic motion. Its structure gains interest as the character of the melody and rhythm changes on the way to the close. In performance, the melodic line should remain clearly projected, while the accompanying figuration should not sound rigid. Coordinating their breathing and preserving a natural flexibility of pulse, the two players should shape the dynamics and direction of each phrase carefully, allowing the work’s brilliant conclusion to come fully to life.
