{"product_id":"andrea-molteni_integrale-des-oeuvres-pour-piano_2026_disco-outhere-distribution-france","title":"Intégrale des oeuvres pour piano","description":"An original perspective on two emblematic figures of the Italian avant-garde, imbued with a fervor and neoclassical elegance. Goffredo Petrassi's (1904-2003) unwavering conviction in his seven post-war Concertos for orchestra contrasts sharply with the fluid pastiche of his Partita for piano, composed in 1926. The Baroque titles of the four movements establish a disarming simplicity of expression, whose dominant accents are the classicism of Mozart and Beethoven. Even the most exploratory harmonies of the Toccata (1933) are imbued with a gentle introspection—far removed from the contemporary toccatas of Bartók and Prokofiev, for example—and a spirit of escape and fantasy animates the seven Inventions from 1944. Existing studies on Petrassi's piano music stop there, while Andrea Molteni adds three charming miniatures: a mischievous Little Piece from 1950, then the two movements of Oh Les Beaux Jours ! (1976), which rework elements from the early 1940s, including an unfinished Divertimento Scarlattiano. This may come as a surprise, except to the most ardent Petrassi specialists, but Andrea Molteni highlights the most seductive and spiritual aspects of his piano writing. Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) was, in many respects, an even more passionate student of Baroque music than Petrassi, and endowed with a more subversive spirit: in one of his most famous works, the Quaderno Musicale di Annalibera (1951-1952), he composes a twelve-tone sequence around the name of Bach (B.A.C.H.). Twelve-tone counterpoint might seem a contradiction, but that would be to underestimate Dallapiccola's virtuosity and inventiveness, which pay true homage to the spirit of his time. Earlier, Andrea Molteni presents two other works of an enchanting neoclassical vein: a \"Canonic Sonata\" based on Paganini's Caprices for solo violin, and a set of three \"Episodes\" taken from his ballet Marsia, alternately imbued with anguish and serenity. This coupling is unique on record, but perfectly obvious; Andrea Molteni's interpretations ring true. He was a student of William Grant Naborè, himself a former student of Petrassi, and the booklet features a captivating interview between the student and the teacher.","brand":"Andrea Molteni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57475789750616,"sku":null,"price":20260128.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/andrea-molteni_integrale-des-oeuvres-pour-piano_2026_disco-outhere-distribution-france","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
