🇩🇪Johannes Brahms ： Piano Sonata No.3 in f-moll Op.5

Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 3 is a large-scale five-movement work in which powerful, densely wrought writing interweaves with profound lyricism. From the weighty presentation of the main material in the first movement, through the singing quality of the second, the driving Scherzo of the third, and the introspective Intermezzo of the fourth, tension is carried forward into the finale. It is important to distinguish the character of each movement clearly while giving careful attention to balance between voices and the movement of the inner parts. Rather than relying solely on forceful keystrokes, the performance calls for flexible pedaling that preserves the resonance of the chords, a broad sense of direction that does not become lost in detail, and restrained rubato in the finale.
