Flammenauge, dunkles Haar, Op. 65, No. 14|{{NoCo|Neue Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 65

This is the fourteenth song from Johannes Brahms's Neue Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 65, a collection of waltzes for SATB chorus and piano duet. The German text, by Georg Friedrich Daumer, expresses intense romantic longing and paradoxes of love. The music opens with a flowing, lyrical texture, with the voices weaving around each other in the characteristic waltz rhythm. Brahms masterfully uses the interplay of the SATB parts to create a rich, chromatic harmonic language that perfectly captures the passionate, almost restless emotion of the text. The piece is a prime example of his mature Lieder style applied to choral writing, with intimate emotional expression conveyed through sophisticated part-writing.
