Capriccio in d minor, Op. 116, No. 1, from Seven Fantasies Johannes Brahms
For Brahms, 1892 was a productive year for keyboard
compositions, as he completed both the Op. 118 and Op. 119 sets in addition to
the fantasies that comprise Opus 116.
The seven pieces of Op. 116 balance individuality with large-scale
cohesion. A robust Capriccio opens the
piece, highlighted by frequent octaves, chromaticism, and metric
displacement. The musical journey takes
the listener through expected and surprising key areas before finally offering
a declamatory return to d minor... Christopher Atzinger
