Sixteen Waltzes, Op. 39 is a set of 16 short waltzes for piano written by Johannes Brahms. They were composed in 1865, and published two years later. This collection is for unsimplified solo piano.

Originally composed in 1865 for piano duet (one piano, four hands), Brahms's 16 Waltzes, Op. 39, are charming short pieces in the Viennese ländler and waltz styles. Editor Henry Levine has included helpful fingering suggestions, pedaling indications in the secondo part, and phrasing that enhances the melodic line. For reading and playing convenience, these beautifully re-engraved waltzes are now available in an attractive upright edition, complete with a thematic index.

During the latter part of his life, Brahms wrote only sets of relatively short pieces. With their formal and stylistic perfection, they are among the most valuable of the late-Romantic additions to piano repertoire. Included in this edition are 30 pieces by Brahms, preceded by a helpful introduction which contains definitions of the ballade, rhapsody, capriccio and intermezzo.

Organ and piano duet teams will appreciate Billie Nastelin's skillful arrangement of the beautiful "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place" from the Brahms Requiem. Each player has opportunities with both melody and accompaniment, and congregations and audiences will request this over and over. Two copies of the music are included. Also arranged for organ/piano duet by Nastelin: "And the Glory of the Lord," from Messiah (GOPD9901),

Compiled primarily for intermediate students, this collection contains an appealing selection of 15 works by Brahms.

Editorial markings have been added for pedaling and fingering.
