Fünf Lieder, Op. 105 (Brahms)[edit]
... that Johannes Brahms used a melody from Fünf Lieder, Op. 105, for an extended cello solo in his Second Piano Concerto?Source: [1]
- Reviewed: Moupin pika
- Comment: a lot of German in the songs, so perhaps stay instrumental, - the piano concerto article says it's 3 minutes before the piano even comes in, - highly unusual, - will try to find more sources for that
Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 12:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC).
Summary of review:
- It's new, created seven days ago.
- It's long enough (well over 1,500 characters of prose).
- It's within policy, neutral, citing sources, and free of close paraphrasing/plagiarism.
- Hook length is okay.
Hook content has a problem. Piano Concerto No. 2 (Brahms) predates op. 105 by five years: in other words, he re-used the cello solo in the Lieder, not the other way round. I'm not sure how identical the melodies are: the source states the melody in the lied "recalls with tender pathos the ghostly half-remembered outline of the theme of the slow movement of the Second Piano Concerto".- QPQ done.
- No image, thus no image issues.
I made some copyedits based on a careful reading of Rij. Best, Andreas JN466 00:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know yet enough about the exact timing, - the insertion of the melody was later (it was different in the 1878 version), says the concerto article , but without a date (1881?). How about - to be safe -
- ALT1: ... that Johannes Brahms used the same melody for a song of his Fünf Lieder, Op. 105, as for an extended cello solo in his Second Piano Concerto? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- The source says, "Brahms's song of the dying girl Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer recalls with tender pathos the ghostly half-remembered outline of the theme of the slow movement of the Second Piano Concerto". Why are we calling it an "extended cello solo"? Andreas JN466 02:17, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- Because it's more interesting , and true. Three minutes of sounding like a cello concerto. Who knows if Brahms didn't have the text already in mind?
- ALT2: ... that Johannes Brahms used the same melody for a song of his Fünf Lieder, Op. 105, as for the theme of the slow movement of his Second Piano Concerto? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
for ALT1 and ALT2, at Gerda's discretion. I've added a source to the article that mentions the cello solo in the Andante explicitly, and says Brahms used the same theme a few years later for "Immer leiser ...". That makes the hooks verifiable by the reader and ties this up. Best, Andreas JN466 14:20, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
