🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Piano Sonata No.1 in C-Dur Op.1

Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 1 is a four-movement work that brings together powerful, propulsive themes, rich harmony, and contrasting lyricism. In the first movement, it is important to establish the character of the themes clearly while sustaining the tension and momentum of the development. The gentle second movement calls for carefully shaped melodic lines, while the following Scherzo requires lightness without losing a clear sense of meter. The finale combines energy with weight and brings the work to a powerful close. In passages with a wide range and dense writing, keeping the sound clear, listening for the inner voices, and maintaining a consistent dynamic range and direction of phrase will bring out the music’s architectural strength.
