The terms ''novelette'' and ''novelettish'' can also be derogatory, suggesting fiction which is "trite, feeble or sentimental" (Chambers Dictionary). The word was used by the composer Robert Schumann as a title for some piano pieces, a choice that reflected his literary background and interests. The music in question (op. 21, and op.99 no. 9) is episodic however and does not especially resemble a narrative. He was followed by Niels Gade , and much later by Poulenc , Lutoslawski ("Novelette for Orchestra"), Chaminade , Alexander Tcherepnin , and Gershwin ("Novelette in Fourths").
