This brief masterpiece is a shining example of Brahms' ability to combine passion and intellect. 4 notes are at the heart of this piece with its impressive invertible counterpoint. I am very pleased to see her playing the opening as Brahms notated it instead Sauer's tempting redistribution!
Love playing and listening .This is so quintessentially Brahms with the dreaminess, odd hand placement and nod to Bach. I've heard this at both neckbreak and snail's pace speed but this is near-perfect - not too fast, not too exaggerated, clear inner lines. Love how she so clearly brings out that inner melody with the thumbs.
Thanks so much for this ! The piece comes alive, full of profound sadness,.. but also longing and still finds peace. This is one of the very best performances I've heard of Op. 76 Capriccio on F#.
Opus 76 has few rivals - only Opus 116 - 119 can compare. I love Brahms but realize he is more appreciated by pianists than audiences. Maybe it's the intimate nature of so many of his works or the neo-classical structure or (for some) the sheer lushness of the music. This is yet another performance best appreciated in a small room with a small audience, very personal. Interpretation, styling and recreation of that specific "Brahmsian" sound is magnificent.
It is somewhat odd that Horowitz proclaimed that, "Brahms didn't understand the piano." Yet Horowitz recorded 2 Intermezzi and they are the best renditions of 118 in recorded history. He preferred Chopin because Chopin was the master of the short form and... Chopin works were written for the piano only and cannot be extrapolated to any other instrument or instruments (i.e orchestral). Just an interesting aside. To your point, though, this is a rare masterpiece... After 52 years of pianism and studying music at the conservatory, I can say there is no other work quite like it. Other than Katchen who plated this perfectly, this is an excellent interpretation. Everyone else of repute plays it wayyyy too fast. Arrogantly fast. That's not art with deference to the composer but conceit.
@@debsmith7861 I think Horowitz was alluding to something almost all pianists have thought at one time or another 0 the piano music of Brahms is...awkward and doesn't "flow" like the works of others. I've heard it described as "clumsy", "fisted", "peculiar". LOL - my wife said I slow it down in order to emphasize the finale section.
The amateur comment below picking up a wrong note @ 3:15 shouldn't have been made for 2 reasons: 1. A wrong note wouldn't detract from such a fantastic interpretation of this work, and 2. There was no wrong note: You are atonal. I've listened to this work easily over 1000 times perfect pitch and all, by everybody who has ever recorded it and many who have not. This rendition is second only to J. Katchen whose recorded interpretation is absolutely flawless. This one isn't far from that. This is a very serious pianist who deserves to be taken seriously. She understands Brahms. Why there aren't more comments praising this video I can't imagine, other than to say those who have watched and listened to it are either stupid or don't understand Brahms themselves. RUclips solo piano *fans* will gush over Buniatishvili whose art and interpretative skills are in the cellar, but not come to this page to render praise for this? How utterly pathetic people can be.
Love Professor Coop's performance. The videographer and editor are to be commended. The beautiful arm, hand, finger movements are exquisite. THANK YOU for closeups, and for panned outs. She's so focused. How can I find analysis of the chords?

Very insightful remarks. As a pianist and teacher, I found your thoughts very helpful.

So much peace in this performance. Thank you so much. Full of emotion and very nice tempo.

The beginning of this piece always reminds me of the Lego batman game on the Wii from when I was a kid 😂
