Johannes Brahms
The charming Liebeslieder Waltzer, or Love Song Waltzes, by Johannes Brahms have remained favourite repertoire for singers and audiences alike, being both accessible and rewarding to perform. This vocal score of his first collection, Op. 52, has lively English translations which follow the meaning and spirit of the original German texts as closely as possible whilst respecting the rhyme structure and metre of the poems. They are presented here with a solo piano reduction of the piano duet score for ease in rehearsal. For clarity, the German text is not included. (This edition replaces, but is totally compatible with, the previous edition ISBN 978-1-326-72960-8, the main difference being a slightly smaller page size that is more convenient to hold).
