Composed late in his life, the Six Pieces for Piano op. 118 by Johannes Brahms constitute a turning point in the history of piano music. On the one hand this collection of short pieces adheres to traditional forms and structures. On the other hand, however, Brahms explores novel sonorities and new methods of developing musical material that paved the way for the music of the 2nd Viennese School in the beginning of the 20th century.

Seda has recorded these wonderful pieces earlier this year at Harvard University, and her interpretation of Brahms’ masterpieces will be published on a forthcoming CD along with Alban Berg’s Sonata op. 1 and Mozart’s Sonata in F major, K. 280.

As a preview of the forthcoming CD we present to you a section of the third piece in the cycle, the Ballade in g minor. We hope you enjoy the music! If you would like to order Seda’s CD please contact us at info@sedaroeder.com.
