Brahms turned out two large scale piano sonatas that are rarely performed today, and then he never returned to the genre. Once he had proved to himself that he could write a sonata like Beethoven, he never felt the need to prove it again. From that day forward, all Brahms’ solo piano works would be short.

From this early era also came the first song from Johannes Brahms that would not end up in the fireplace. Why this is so becomes obvious from the entry of the vocalist after a short piano introduction. This is an astonishing song coming from a teenager. There is no sense of a boy trying out a style. It’s heartfelt and written with absolute assurance.

Brahms: “Liebestreu”, Op.3/1
