Educational Concert: "Brahms' Intermezzi"

Saturday, May 23, 12:00 pm.

Program:

  • Intermezzi Opus 116, by Johannes Brahms.
  • Intermezzi Opus 117, by Johannes Brahms.
  • Intermezzi Opus 118, by Johannes Brahms.
  • Intermezzi Opus 119, by Johannes Brahms.

The concert lasts about 50 to 60 minutes.

An Intermezzo (interlude or intermission) is normally a short piece of music, intended to be performed between the acts of a long work, as a break and entertainment, although this name can also be given to a single composition.

Of the twenty short piano works that Brahms published in opuses 116, 117, 118, and 119, fourteen are titled "Intermezzo." Brahms probably considered the term sufficiently generic to suit his creative needs. There is a very pronounced tendency in Brahms's compositional style toward simplicity and concentration.

It is not known why Brahms stopped producing larger and more important piano works, but the smaller size of his later works in no way diminishes their complexity or musical significance.

María Icíar Serrano Quiñones , a native of Vizcaya and resident in the province of Valladolid, is a teacher of piano, music theory, harmony, counterpoint, composition and instrumentation.

Throughout her career, she has taught at various educational institutions, academies, and music conservatories across the country and has published articles in several specialized journals. She has also performed numerous concerts throughout Spain.
