Alfredo Casella
Alfredo Casella is the scion of a highly respected Italian family of musicians. His grandfather Pietro Casella, a friend of Nicolò Paganini, was a solo cellist in Lisbon and Turin. All three of his sons were also important cellists. The youngest of them, Carlo Casella, Alfredo’s father, deviated from the entertaining virtuoso line and had an immense passion for the solo suites of Johann Sebastian Bach, which Alfredo absorbed as ‘father’s milk’, so to speak. A close friend of his was Alfredo Piatti, at the time the most eminent Italian cello virtuoso and Alfredo’s godfather. While his father made a living as a sought-after teacher for as long as his health permitted, it was his mother, an extremely strong-willed, highly cultivated woman, who was responsible for Alfredo’s upbringing. Alfredo Casella was introduced to the best classical chamber music from an early age and received his first piano lessons from his mother at the age of five. He made astonishing progress, but soon proved to be exceptionally gifted and interested in the natural sciences, and two great men took a keen interest in his development: the physicist Galileo Ferraris (1847-97) and Italy’s leading symphonist Giuseppe Martucci. For several years it was not clear whether Casella would become a musician or a scientist. On April 15, 1894, he made his public debut as a pianist. He now received extensive musical training, read scientific books and Shakespeare excessively and learned German and French in a very short time. In 1895, he heard the Italian premiere of Richard Wagner’s ‘Götterdämmerung’ under Arturo Toscanini and memorized the score. His father died in August 1896.
