Pianist Nada reflects on her accomplishment:
“The music of Brahms can sound very complicated at first. However, everyone agrees right away on its sumptuous beauty and striking power. The beauty comes not only from how well-crafted this music is, but also because of his unique gift to tap into gorgeous concepts and tremendous inspiration. He developed his compositional technique to such perfection giving his music an unlimited richness and universal reach. No matter how many times you play or study it, you will always find new things to do or to understand. No matter how many times you listen to it, it still will bring you new insights and deep fulfillment.”
