Work & Edition Details
The composition begins with an introduction, a 16-bar lento section, with which one might say Mayer improvises her way into the piece. This form of preludising prior to playing the actual composition was by no means rare in the 19th century, and there is even a recording of Johannes Brahms in which (amid heavy static) he can be heard improvising an introduction to an actual work. Nowadays, apart from concerto cadenzas, improvised passages in compositions are somewhat unusual and special.
