🇫🇷Henri Dutilleux ： Au Gre des Ondes – Claquettes

“Claquettes” is a short piece in which lively rhythms and the percussive sonority of the piano come to the fore. Crisp figuration, syncopation, and shifting accents give the music a buoyant sense of momentum. The contrasts between brief musical ideas and changes of register are among its points of interest. In performance, focus less on pressing deeply into the keys than on speed and clarity of attack, and treat the rests as part of the rhythm. By preserving its lightness without overemphasizing the accents, the piece acquires a refined vitality.
