Alfredo Casella: Canone, 11 Pezzi Infantili, op. 35, No. 3 with original score.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭-𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞? 𝐖𝐡𝐲 "𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞" 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. 🎹👶⚙️ We often confuse "simple" with "banal". But in art (and business), true mastery reveals itself in limitation. Today, I want to introduce you to a fascinating piece: The 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧 (𝐍𝐨. 𝟑) from the cycle 𝟏𝟏 𝐏𝐞𝐳𝐳𝐢 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢, 𝐨𝐩. 𝟑𝟓 (𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟎) 𝐛𝐲 the Italian composer 𝐀𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚. 🇮🇹 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: The title 𝑃𝑒𝑧𝑧𝑖 𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑖 is ambiguous. It means "Children's Pieces", but "infantili" also carries the meaning of "infantile" or "childish". Casella plays with this irony. He takes old, traditional forms (Prelude, Siciliana, Gigue) and brushes them against the grain of modernity. Sometimes mechanical and industrial, sometimes floating and soft. 🎹 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭: In this 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧, Casella uses 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐬. This creates a 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞. 💡 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜?: Many think it’s just the first 5 notes of a major scale. That’s wrong. The "black key pentatonic" has a special magic: It has 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 or any other dissonant intervals. No sharp friction, no "wrong" notes. It is often used in early childhood education (like on xylophones where the "tricky" bars are removed) and in music therapy (improvisation sessions) because everything sounds harmonious. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚’𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬: Instead of making it sound like a simple nursery rhyme, he weaves a dense, three-part canon. It sounds floating, impressionistic, and incredibly noble. He proves that you can create deep, dark complexity within a "safe" harmonious system. 🛑 𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐍𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠" 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞: There is one more thing that makes Casella modern: He hated the romantic habit of slowing down at the end (Ritardando). In his scores, he explicitly writes: "𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨" (without slowing down). He wants the music to stop precisely – or he composes the slowdown by fragmenting the melody and adding pauses. It is a "structural fade-out," not an emotional brake. 𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: This music teaches us that constraints (only black keys) and strict rules (no slowing down) do not kill creativity. They channel it into something new, fresh, and surprisingly modern. 👇 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦: You can listen to this Canon and the complete album of the 11 Pezzi Infantili (including the bitonal "Carillon" and the mechanical "Gigue") on my Soundcloud profile. Dive into a world that is childlike, but never childish. 🔗 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝: https://lnkd.in/d8ZC753k #ClassicalMusic #AlfredoCasella #PianoMusic #TakeABreak #Innehalten
