About "Brahms' Lullaby"

Brahms' Lullaby's real title is "Guten Abend, gute Nacht" ("Good evening, good night"), Op. 49, No. 4. It is also often called "Brahms' Wiegenlied." It was written by a German composer, Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) from the romantic era. It was originally written for voice and piano. However, there are many arrangements for different instrumentation including orchestral version to a single music box. The melody is well-known in the world.

Tips for playing Level 2 "Brahms' Lullaby"

Brahms wrote this song originally in the key of E flat major. However, to accommodate the level 2 players, we arranged it in the key of F major which is only one whole step higher than the original key. Please refer to the hand- position tutorial page after you download it. When you see the flat sign (b), please use your left-hand 2nd finger on B flat described on the tutorial page. Also, remember that the 2nd B in the same measure is also B flat even though it doesn't have a flat sign. On this level 2 "Brahms' Lullaby," you will be playing both its melody line and the harmonic notes. That means it requires a lot more coordination between right-hand and left-hand and between different fingers than Level 1 "Brahms' Lullaby." This song is a lullaby. So, please play slowly (Adagio) and gently, not so loud.
