Portrait of Johannes Brahms in 1889. The Four Pieces for Piano (German: Klavierstücke) Op. 119, are four character pieces for piano composed by Johannes Brahms in 1893. The collection is the last composition for solo piano by Brahms. Together with the six pieces from Op. 118, Op. 119 was premiered in London in January 1894.
During Brahms' lifetime, the string quartet, like the symphony, was a genre dominated by the compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven.Brahms had remarked of Beethoven in 1872, a year before finishing his first quartets, "You can't have any idea what it's like always to hear such a giant marching behind you!"
The set was the penultimate of Brahms's published works. It was also his penultimate work for piano solo. The pieces are frequently performed. Like Brahms's other late keyboard works, Op. 118 is more introspective than his earlier piano pieces, which tend to be more virtuosic in character. The six pieces are: Intermezzo in A minor.
