Puccini as a creator of piano music? The new volume of the "Edizione Nazionale" invites you to discover this still largely unknown side of the composer. Many previously unpublished works are available here for the first time.
In fact, Puccini regularly wrote piano pieces throughout his career. The volume opens with one of the first compositions he preserved: a short, almost childlike work (Pezzo in Sol maggiore). This is followed by other piano pieces, some combined into cycles. These works shed an interesting light on Puccini’s earliest days as a composer and allow us to follow his burgeoning skills. The later pieces are mostly occasional works, written alongside the great operas.
Browsing through the pages, one stumbles across many strokes of genius: For instance, when the melody wends its way to its climax before immediately sinking back to nothingness (Adagio in La maggiore, SC 31); or when, condensed to a mere 16 measures, the melody floats in melancholy fashion within a harmonic structure that avoids its tonal center until just before the end (Calmo e molto lento, SC 86, from 1916).
It’s well worth discovering this little-known side of Puccini!
