Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel / Six Piano Pieces / Two Rhapsodies

Album by Johannes Brahms & Emanuel Ax

Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel / Six Piano Pieces / Two Rhapsodies is a compilation of solo piano works by Johannes Brahms, composed and published between 1861 and 1893. The collection illustrates Brahms's Romantic-era idiom, combining rigorous contrapuntal technique and rich chromatic harmonies with intimate, lyrical piano miniatures and rhapsodic gestures, and it reflects key phases of his development from early variation writing to his late-period piano pieces.
