Im Garten am Seegestade
Op. 70 no.1
Im Garten am Seegestade
Im Garten am SeegestadeUralte Bäume stehn,In ihren hohen KronenSind kaum die Vögel zu sehn.Die Bäume mit hohen Kronen,Die rauschen Tag und Nacht,Die Wellen schlagen zum Strande,Die Vöglein singen sacht.Das gibt ein MusizierenSo süß, so traurig bang,Als wie verlorner LiebeUnd ewiger Sehnsucht Sang.
In the garden by the shore
In the garden by the shoreAncient trees are standing,In their high canopiesThe birds can scarce be seen.The trees with high canopiesRustle day and night,The waves beat against the shore,The little birds sing softly.The music they makeIs so sweet, so full of sad foreboding,Like the song of lost loveAnd endless longing.

Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator. His music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters.
