Symphonie n° 4 en mi mineur op. 98 Editeur: Robert Pascall L?histoire de la genèse de la 4e Symphonie remonte probablement aux années 1870, alors que Brahms travaillait sur la cantate de Bach «Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich», dont le thème de la chaconne préfigure la cellule du final. Autour du 29 août 1885, Brahms écrivit à Hans von Bülow depuis Mürzzuschlag dans le Steiermark: «J?ai là quelque…

Maurice Ravel Gaspard de la nuit Editeur: Peter Jost Ravel a puisé l'inspiration de son cycle pour piano «Gaspard de la nuit» dans un recueil de poèmes du romantique français Aloysius Bertrand.
