Brahms mainly composed the eight Piano Pieces, Op. 76 in summer 1878 in the summer resort of Pörtschach at Lake Wörth.Theodor Billroth, a close friend, was enthusiastic about the new works: "These are magnificent pieces, beautiful and interesting to play. They lie so well under the hand for those who are a little used to Schumann's and Chopin's technique that it is a pleasure to practise them."
