🇫🇷Olivier Messiaen ： Fantaisie Burlesque

Messiaen’s “Fantaisie Burlesque” is a piano piece in which fantastic expansiveness intersects with humorous gestures. Sharp rhythmic movement, unexpected accents, and colorful sonorities give the music a distinctive sense of vitality, while contrasts suggesting shifts of scene form one of its main attractions. In performance, it is important to preserve the lightness without rushing, and to make the placement of accents and the timing of rests clear. Carefully shaping the dynamic changes and the amount of pedal allows the transparent sonorities and shifts into playful expression to bring out the character of the work.
