Il duca di Württemberg Parts 1, 2, and La Poupée Automate by Nino Rota

Shawn Heller - piano from Suite del Casanova di Federico Fellini (1976) recorded February 12, 2015 Live performance at The University of St. Thomas, Cullen Recital Hall. Houston, Texas, USA Nino Rota was an excellent pianist and it was this ability which aided him in his compositional work for films. His natural talent for improvisation or variation on themes which evolved during consultation sessions with film directors was so pronounced that these directors were frequently convinced that they themselves had been the authors of the film music which was subsequently developed. It is unfortunate that no complete records of any of the improvisation sessions have been preserved. An exception is Il Casanova di Federico Fellini for which Rota utilized several preliminary sketches as a basis for the composition of an independent suite for piano. In the original film music, keyboard instruments were extensively utilized, often several simultaneously, ranging from the harpsichord to the electric piano and from the pipe organ to synthesizers. Both this and the material based on two waltzes for piano on the name of BACH, composed by Rota some time previously, seem to have formed the basis of the inspiration for this suite which offers an extensive range of pianistic tonal colors.
