opis
The Novelletten, Op.21, composed by Robert Schumann in 1838, is a set of eight character pieces for solo piano. Schumann (1810-1856) told his friend and teacher Heinrich Dorn that this music could only be understood with reference to the figure of Clara Wieck, and to the battles he fought on behalf of their love for each other. These works reflect Schumann’s literary and imaginative tendencies, as the title suggests “little novellas” or short stories, aligning music with the narrative qualities of literature. Written during a highly creative period in his life, these pieces are imbued with contrasting moods and themes, often shifting between passionate, lyrical, and whimsical styles.
Each piece in the set has its own distinct character while sharing thematic connections. The Novelletten showcase Schumann’s mastery of piano writing, featuring intricate textures, rhythmic vitality, and expressive melodies. There is an interplay of contrasting sections within each piece, often marked by sudden changes in tempo and dynamics, which mirrors Schumann’s fascination with duality and juxtaposition, possibly inspired by his alter egos Florestan and Eusebius - representing his fiery and introspective sides.
Also included in the recording are the Nachtstücke Op.23, which Schumann composed in March 1839. They are based on literary works by E.T.A. Hoffmann.
Costantino Catena studied piano under the guidance of Luigi D’Ascoli and then went on to specialize with Konstantin Bogino, Boris Bechterev, Bruno Mezzena and Aldo Ciccolini. Currently a piano teacher at the Salerno Conservatory of Music, he also holds degrees in Philosophy and Psychology. Praise for his previous CDs: ‘A pianist in whom the art of singing on the keyboard shines above all with phrasing inventions that demonstrate his exquisite musical intelligence’ (Carlo Vitali, Amadeus), ‘Catena’s technical facility is astounding. The overall range of dynamics, color and expression is excellent, and you can hear that he is always in control of the direction of the piece. He is a formidable artist’ (Philip Borg-Wheeler, Fanfare Magazine).
