Hi Mary! I hadn't been checking my inbox I guess, and just saw this. Very nice! :) Thanks for sharing it.

I really need to record some new pieces and fix the recording transfer glitches in the ones I have (the clicking and popping noises). Hope you're having a great 2010.

I love this very much... You are such a great player Mary ...

Brahms is my teaching line and yet I play very little of him..lol

Very nice .....

I am sorry only now posting a reply. Your performance matches all standards of a professional recording. Congrats

You always play music that i really wouldn't choose to play myself, but i always like the pieces you pick out. It's always so nice hearing you play. i'm glad you posted something. i hadn't seen anything from you lately.

[kacharov]

Very well, but let us see your beauty face while you're playing

[ThePianoStudio]

Just lovely...

[FrankenBosey]

One of Brahms' late introverted beauties. Nicely done Mary Ruth. (And I thought the 2 against 3 was just fine.) 8^)

[MaryRuth72]

Thanks..

.yes, the 2 against 3 is okay NOW, but it really was hard for me at the time that I first learned this piece.

The introversion of this piece is what appeals to me.

Bravissima !!!!

Wow, it's a wonderful piece. I did not know it and I am German. ;-) Thanks for giving me knowledge about J. Brahms. You played it great as usual.

Thanks Mary - That was beautiful. Sure wish some of my kids had continued with piano for a few more years. I wonder how long it would take my oldest to learn this. He took piano for about 10 years.

[lucamadeus]

thanks so much for sharing MaryRuth, very well done!

OMG.........my mum totally loves this piece. She has the sheet music for it too. You play so beautifully. Im going to make my mum listen to you. When a very special friend of hers died about 5 years ago. This piece was played to her and thats when she discovered it. Your amazing and thanks for sharing :) xx

[MaryRuth72]

THANKS!!! I love this piece, too.  From the very first moment I heard it I had to learn it.

[lapianissimo]

You did a great job with the feeling and everything. :)

[MaryRuth72]

The 2 against 3 was a challenge for me because I am not very good at that. HA!

[lapianissimo]

That was beautiful! I should learn this. I did learn it in part as an arrangement, but the whole thing is lovely! I shall have to look for it. Thanks for sharing. :)

[MaryRuth72]

It's a very emotionally satisfying piece for me to play. I absolutely love every part of it. It touches my soul.

[piano6861]

Brahms is just the best. I was playing some today myself. Have you done some of the others, too? Good stuff... yea!

Nice job. When you love something, it shows.

[MaryRuth72]

This is the only Brahms that I know WELL. I've played around with the waltzes. Do you have any suggestions?

[piano6861]

Get a book of all the short works and i don't mean the waltzes . There are lots of Intermezzi and other works- op.116, 117, 118, 119. You may like op,117, No.1 ,No.2 and Op.118, No.5. All of these opuses I know you will love every note of.

[dclearyea]

So this is what you've been working on! Loved it. This is one of my favorites by Brahms. Your phrasings and dynamics are very nice. Just beautiful.

[MaryRuth72]

Hi! Actually, I learned this one a few years ago and I've dug it out again. I'm playing it on Sunday at church and then at a piano Soiree. I love this piece. It's my husbands favorite.
