ABSTRACT: Wilhelm Kempff and Radu Lupu, both known as famous performers of Brahms’ music, share the same pianistic origin incarnated in prof. Heinrich Barth. The period of 13 years between their recordings as well as possible influence of Russian or German teaching approaches are aspects that are hermeneutically interesting for the analysis of their performances with the help of Hermans Danuser’s Theory of interpretation. The goal was better and deeper understanding of their pianistic approaches. The analysis is made with the assistance of Sonic Visualizer computer program in measurements of tempo values and agogical changes, which are represented with the graphs. Dynamics, articulation, polyphony and pedaling were analyzed just by pure listening to the music. The findings are compared and explained with the content of the music text, proven biographical data, known elements of Brahms’ performance practice and interpretational modes of Herman Danuser.
