🇫🇷Henri Dutilleux ： Au Gre des Ondes – Tous les Chemins Menent a Rome

The concluding piece of Au gré des ondes, this is a concise and tightly focused piano miniature. Its lively rhythms and agile motion drive the music forward, while fragmentary motifs and shifting accents create a playful character. Several contrasting moments seem to pass by in quick succession, making it important to distinguish the character of each section while maintaining the overall flow. Bring out the start of each sound clearly from the opening, and play the finer figures evenly and without strain, preserving their rhythmic momentum. Careful attention to dynamic contrasts and restrained pedaling will highlight the humor and vitality within the transparent sonority. Rather than relying solely on virtuosity, shape the piece with a light breathing quality and a clear sense of direction.
