“Do you love Brahms?” The majority of music lovers will answer “yes”, and they might be thinking of the Waltz op. 39 no. 15 – its gently rocking melody is one of Brahms’s most famous inspirations. Both original versions of this popular miniature for piano solo are now offered by G. Henle Publishers in a practical, stand-alone Urtext edition. The more demanding version in A-flat major (taken from HN 1286) is followed by Brahms’s own easier arrangement in A major (from HN 1287). A must for every Brahms lover! · Level of difficulty: medium (level 5/6) · Most popular Brahms waltz ever · Single release from HN 1286 (Waltzes op. 39) and HN 1287 (Waltzes op. 39 – Simplified version): contains both versions for piano two-hands that were authorized by Brahms, the regular one in A flat and the simplified version in A major. · The short postscript explicates the sources and different versions Editor: Katrin Eich Fingering: Rolf Koenen Urtext Edition, paperbound
