Op. 117 was composed in 1892, the year Brahms lost his beloved sister Elise. This track is dedicated to my dear sister, Shiraz.
Brahms prefaced his score for this first of 3 intermezzi Op. 117 with a poetic Scottish epigraph derived from "Lady Anne Bothwell's Lament" in Herder's Volkslieder: Schlaf sanft mein Kind, schlaf sanft und Schön! (Sleep soft my child, sleep soft and lovely!) Mich dauert's sehr, dich weinen sehn. (I feel sadness when you weep).  The translation upon which Brahms based his epigraph altered the original which read: Baloo, my boy, lie still and sleep...It grieves me sore to hear thee weep... If thou'lt be silent I'll be glad...
