Here is my very moderate tempo version of Brahms Op.118 No.2. This is a slowish piece so I feel it has ended up very slow indeed. It was interesting to hear how I need to shape phrases and motifs more carefully or else they can become a bit turgid at this tempo. Looking forward to hearing how everyone has come this week, so many good week 1 recordings and nice repertoire choices.
