Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari: Piano Quintet, Cello Sonata & Duo

Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876-1948) is a composer difficult to classify. As the son of a German father and an Italian mother from an aristocratic family, he was born in Venice and went to study in Munich. He became famous as a composer for the stage with works such as Il Segreto di Susanna and I gioielli della Madonna. His name is now emerging from the shadow cast by his wartime collaboration with Italy’s Fascist regime...

Following on from the piano trios, the Piano Quintet Op.6 dates from 1900. Some of the cantabile melodies may remind us of Brahms, and the delicately embroidered harmony of Hugo Wolf, but Wolf-Ferrari’s characteristic sweetness of tone does not descend into decorative mannerism or affected sentimentalism: he was, to the core, a German-Italian composer with a foot on both sides of the Alps. More than any other of his early chamber works, the Piano Quintet successfully embodies his declared aim as a composer, to create a “universal beauty” where no rules apply, but only a feeling of well-being and sensuousness – especially in the ebullient Scherzo and Trio.

The Cello Sonata (1945) and Duo for violin and cello (1946) share the Romantic language of his early chamber music, but now refined by an escapist mode of neo-classicism, particularly in the lively dialogue of the Duo. The Cello Sonata is imbued with a gentle radiance throughout its brief, traditionally structured quarter-hour duration, drawing on a nostalgic vein of expression which comes naturally to the cello, and including literal echoes of Brahms in the slow movement.

Played by the Guadagnini Quartet, Amedeo Cicchese (cello) and pianist Costantino Catena, who is the binding force in this recording project of considerable importance.

Tracklist:
Piano Quintet in D-Flat Major, Op. 6:
00:00 I. Tranquillo ed espressivo
09:57 II. Canzone
15:51 III. Capriccio
24:24 IV. Finale

34:11 Duo for Violin and Cello in G Minor, Op. 33

Sonata for Cello and Piano in G Major, Op. 30:
42:45 I. Allegro tranquillo
50:13 II. Largo
53:53 III. Allegro

Anakronos

The Katharsisdrill project was always meant to be an outlet of whatever I produce and which I, for whatever reason, don't see any reason to put a fat, slimy copyright label on. Here's something new and different. A finished score of a small melody which slowly travereses chromatically upwards.

As Salman Rushdie just suffered a stupid and despicable attack by one of those morons who think that they will get a share of the glory of the rich, self-righteous or powerful, by doing their bidding like a thrall, I guess this one is for him. For Salman Rushdie.

As my old Disapora pod which hosted this free culture project got closed I am posting my art here. You can see it using the #katharsisdrill and #darkkatharsisdrill tags.

Go here to download the score as a PDF file.
