Johannes Brahms · A♭ minor · 104 bars · 91 chords analysed

A song (in German, a Lied) sets a poem for voice and piano. The piano is a full partner: it paints the scene, the weather and the singer's mood. This score comes from the OpenScore Lieder Corpus, a free collection of 19th-century songs that includes many women composers.

Keys visited: A♭ minor, E♭ minor, A♭ major, E minor, C minor.
