Summary of This Score
The cycle Ombres chinoises - 7 études pantomimes was composed between 2016 and 2017, then premiered by the composer on April 18, 2018, at the Auditorium of Salon-de-Provence, following a day of masterclasses given to students of the city's Conservatory. Designed as the logical continuation of Jeux de mime (dedicated to the early cycles), this collection extends the same guiding idea: solving technical difficulties through gesture, integrating a dimension of musical theatre into pianistic work. Each étude is dedicated to a pianist concert artist friend and highlights a specific instrumental aspect, with a writing style intended to bring out the precise gesture as much as the sound.
Throughout the pages, the performer is invited to explore various technical challenges: work on seconds and ostinato, dissociation and playing with hands separate, clusters and arpeggios, opposite and alternating articulations, study of rhythm and movements, culminating in a more virtuosic finale. The whole forms a coherent path, both demanding and stimulating, ideal for enriching coordination, independence, rhythmic precision, and the palette of articulations, while developing stage presence and expressivity. A particularly relevant score for pianists in training who wish to connect technique, imagination, and contemporary interpretation.
