GOOD EVENING, GOOD NIGHT
Lullaby
Johannes Brahms
OP 49 Nr. 4, 1868
Johannes Brahms dedicated his lullaby to Berta Faber, whom he admired, on the occasion of the birth of her son Hans, ‘for always happy use’. A year later it was performed to the public for the first time – accompanied on the piano by Clara Schumann. Since then it has been considered the most beautiful of all lullabies, and its catchy melody connects parents and children to this day. The famous composition by Brahms is not only a classic for musical boxes; it is also a preferred choice for encore in concerts – as a signal that no more is going to follow.
