Insomnia with Johannes Brahms

Brahms lull babies to sleep?  Hah!  He keeps me up at night. Here’s the Intermezzo (Andante teneramente) from the Klavierstücke Op. 118, played on my Yamaha keyboard. Glenn Gould has an incredible performance of this piece, so in control and lyrical, and getting those darned long phrasings just right. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately trying to get the gist, but well, he’s a god and I’m a mere mortal.
