Of Brahms I really only sort of like the Händel
variations, second movement pc1, ehm… a part of
the third ballad op 10… it’s a very beautiful
part in an otherwise really shitty piece… okay
and I guess some movements of the violin sonatas
maybe - but not really… oh and a part of sonata
2… in the slow movement I think… since I only
like parts of his music and most of it not…
screw brahms… early Brahms >> late Brahms

Opp. 116-119 are to die for. And he did.

Hmmm… listened to Volodos again in 117 and 118 yesterday, and also to
Gould‘s…
Is there anything as beautiful as this moment in op 116-118?

And this is the part I liked in the second sonata:

Or this part of his Händel variations- which might be the most beautiful
thing Brahms wrote:

I don’t know they - op 116-119 - make me fucking tired… maybe because
they’re heavy or sth.. sure they are probably Brahms‘ best works, but
would I want to play them?… hmmmm… I also don’t like the colors too much
here… these pieces are fine as lullabies maybe… will relisten…
You have Schumann‘s Kinderszenen, Kreisleriana, Davidsbündlertänze and
Papillons… so I’d probably rather play Schumann or Debussy etc…
