Counterpoint and Motivic Development in Brahms' Intermezzo, Op. 116, No. 6 | EP 19

In this video, I dive into Brahms’s Intermezzo in E major, Op. 116, No. 6 — a haunting and introspective miniature from his late piano works. Beneath its lyrical surface lies a dense contrapuntal fabric and masterful motivic development that reflect Brahms’s deep structural thinking. I explore how this brief piece achieves remarkable cohesion through the interplay of voice-leading, motivic transformation, and formal cohesion. 00:00:00 Introduction and presentation of the Intermezzo 00:02:46 Section Aa. Chromatic choral composed from three elements 00:29:45 Section Ab. Opening based on a closing gesture of Aa 00:41:41 Section Aa'. Unique way of inverting opening and contrasting ideas 00:58:55 Section B. One the most lyrical moments in Brahms' piano literature 01:22:05 Coda. A hidden sonata form recapitulation 01:28:38 Section A'. The original version from which Aa and Aa' are extracted 01:38:20 Piano performance with the musical analysis on screen I’m Dr. Bohdan Syroyid, and if you’d like to study music composition with me, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email at [email protected].
