Three Brahms Songs
[Solo Guitar]
op. 69/2
2. Your black eye
op. 59/8
3. In still night
WoO 33/42, 34/8
The sequence of songs by Johannes Brahms reflected on the guitar in this edition enables them to be presented as a small, approximately 12-minute triptych about grief and consolation; each of the pieces can also stand on its own.
A successively enriched, ever more urgent lament , in Brahms' Songs and Gesänge op. 69 the second of this title, stands at the beginning. Your blue eye from the Songs and Gesänge op. 59, which in a strange way seems to hold ready at the same time soothing coolness and warmth , replies to you with a rather direct transcription of the original movement and then with a transfiguration in tremolo. Finally, Brahms' choral and solo version of this song takes up the theme of In Stiller Nacht . "Klage" has become something external, sounds like a singing from afar and opens up a final perspective.
The arrangements are accompanied by an essay on the history and aesthetics of "Brahms on the Guitar".
