Johannes Brahms' intimately simple song "Guten Abend, gut' Nacht" op. 49 no. 4 (1868), better known as the famous lullaby, is one of the most beloved pieces in the entire song literature. Brahms created a melody of incomparable tenderness and warmth to a text from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn", which has accompanied generations of parents and children to sleep. The song in comfortable E flat major and gently swaying 3/4 time (marking: Zart bewegt) captivates with its simple beauty, which combines deep emotion with the greatest simplicity. The piano accompaniment envelops the singing voice with delicate arpeggios and a barely perceptible harmonic color change, creating the perfect atmosphere of quiet security. This carefully revised edition offers a clear, easy-to-read musical text based on the complete edition. Ideal for singing lessons, home music and as a precious encore at recitals - a small masterpiece that always touches.
