(HD 1080p) Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, Pietro Mascagni

Opera composers sometimes wrote instrumental intermezzi as connecting pieces between acts of operas. In this sense an intermezzo is similar to the entr'acte (intermission). The most famous of this type of intermezzo is probably the intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, by Pietro Mascagni..

Here is a video of landscape images of Tuscany, Italy set to the music of the intermezzo from this opera wriitten by Pietro Mascagni.
Rina : I'm here because of Vincenzo. But this music clearly evokes the feelings of 2020 that continues to 2021.
Tommy Gunn : Raging bull
glassessn : I play this sometimes when I shadowbox
The Embarker : It's the definition of a perfect piece
Paolo balitro : Most beautiful peace of music ever...o my God, what a beautiful feeling

Brahms - Intermezzo in A major, Op. 118 No. 2 (Stephen Kovacevich) - 1981

Six Pieces for Piano, Op. 118 No. 2 - Intermezzo in A Major (Andante teneramente) (Stephen Kovacevich) (1981)

There are some errors in the score I got from Mutopia Project (I don't have a scanner to scan my copy) and I don't know the existence of IMSLP at that time. For a correct version of the score, please head to IMSLP and search for Brahms Intermezzo Op. 118.

*** To all the too fast comments, the tempo marking is Adante teneramente - not Largo. To me this is just right as Andante should be. Thank you. ***
churn yee chong : I like his piano pieces, very personal and unique, some are dance- or scherzo-like (such as the Capriccios) and others are full of emotion and lyrical, just like this piece.

I played one of his intermezzi in A minor (Op.76 no.7) for my LTCL Pianoforte exam - thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a slow piece with a suppressive melancholic mood.

I wish one day I would be able to play all of his miniature piano pieces.
