Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's 'Rispetti (4) for voice & piano, Op.11' is a collection of four songs composed in 1897. The premiere of the work took place in Munich in the same year. The four movements of the work are titled 'La Primavera', 'L'Amore', 'La Luna' and 'La Notte'. The first movement, 'La Primavera', is a lively and joyful song that celebrates the arrival of spring. The piano accompaniment is light and playful, while the vocal melody is full of energy and optimism. The second movement, 'L'Amore', is a romantic and passionate song that expresses the intensity of love. The piano accompaniment is more subdued, allowing the vocal melody to take center stage. The third movement, 'La Luna', is a dreamy and atmospheric song that evokes the beauty and mystery of the moon. The piano accompaniment is ethereal and delicate, creating a sense of otherworldliness. The final movement, 'La Notte', is a haunting and melancholic song that captures the mood of a sleepless night. The piano accompaniment is sparse and haunting, while the vocal melody is full of longing and sadness. Overall, 'Rispetti (4) for voice & piano, Op.11' is a beautiful and expressive work that showcases Wolf-Ferrari's skill as a composer. The songs are characterized by their lyrical melodies, rich harmonies, and evocative piano accompaniments. They are also notable for their emotional depth and range, from the exuberance of 'La Primavera' to the melancholy of 'La Notte'.
