There are amateurs and amateurs. Nietzsche, philosopher and poet, who managed to develop a world of thought far beyond the grasp of most mortals, thought he was also a composer. Alas, poor Friedrich, he always remained a bloody amateur. Picking here and there in Schumann, Liszt, Wagner, sometimes (quite involuntarily) announcing Satie with his naivety – a trait which Satie adroitly wove into his music, whereas Nietzsche’s naivety is but uncouthness –, he “composed” (for lack of a better word) a remarkable amount of Lieder, some choral pieces, and not few piano pieces. This album presents all the completed two-hand piano pieces, keeping in mind that there are a few four-hand pieces, not recorded here. Anecdote : among the four-hand piano pieces is a Nachklang einer Sylvesternacht, “Memories of a New year’s Eve” which Nietzsche had spent with the Wagners – where he had his own room for some time. Alas, poor Friedrich, the Wagner sneered at the piece – for good reason, it might be added: yours truly has the score under the eyes and… hopeless… – and subsequently there was no more contact between them. What is fascinating in those pieces is the character, sometimes Hungarian-Lisztian, sometimes heroic-Wagnerian, sometimes Schumanno-manneristic, incredibly ill-crafted, fraught with clumsy harmonies and moronic melodies, which offer a marvellous glimpse into Nietzsches mind far beyond his philosophical work. Let’s also mention a quite singular Fragment an sich (“Fragment in itself”) which is to be repeated indefinitely “with melancholy”. Jeroen Van Veen plays only the completed pieces – the vast majority of scores by Nietzsche are but fragments and sketches. An absolute must hear! © SM/Qobuz

Albumbeschreibung
There are amateurs and amateurs. Nietzsche, philosopher and poet, who managed to develop a world of thought far beyond the grasp of most mortals, thought he was also a composer. Alas, poor Friedrich, he always remained a bloody amateur. Picking here and there in Schumann, Liszt, Wagner, sometimes (quite involuntarily) announcing Satie with his naivety – a trait which Satie adroitly wove into his music, whereas Nietzsche’s naivety is but uncouthness –, he “composed” (for lack of a better word) a remarkable amount of Lieder, some choral pieces, and not few piano pieces. This album presents all the completed two-hand piano pieces, keeping in mind that there are a few four-hand pieces, not recorded here. Anecdote : among the four-hand piano pieces is a Nachklang einer Sylvesternacht, “Memories of a New year’s Eve” which Nietzsche had spent with the Wagners – where he had his own room for some time.
