Intermezzo Opus 117, No.3

The Three Intermezzi for piano, Op. 117, are compositions that Johannes Brahms created for solo piano. Brahms’ Intermezzi were described by the critic Eduard Hanslick as “monologues”… pieces of a “thoroughly personal and subjective character” striking a “pensive, graceful, dreamy, resigned, and elegiac note.”
