Summary of This Score
With "Ballads," Fazil Say offers three piano pieces that are both expressive and introspective, where the music dialogues with literary and personal associations. The first ballad, "Nazim," stands out for a unique sonic approach: it is played exclusively on the white keys and pays tribute to the Turkish writer Nâzim Hikmet (1902-1963), a prominent figure whose life was marked by commitment, persecution, and exile.
The second ballad, "Kumru," takes a title rich in double meaning in Turkish culture: it evokes the "dove," but is also a common female first name. The third, "Sevenlere dair" (which can be understood as "for lovers"), continues this lyrical vein and echoes the Eastern tradition of courtly song, through a reference to the treatise "The Ring of the Dove. On Love and Lovers" by Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi. The set constitutes a contemporary piano score with implicit narration, ideal for pianists wishing to work on color, phrasing, and atmosphere.
