Product description
Dutilleux thought of the Piano Sonata as his first official work. It was premiered in 1948 by his wife, the pianist Geneviève Joy, who later recorded it. It is a substantial work in three movements and has been accepted as a modern classic, with numerous recordings. Dutilleux wrote of it: ‘I wanted to produce a work of a certain breadth, one with a dense musical language, and find a tone of voice for it, as well as a certain depth and a distinctive form. Hence the four variations in the finale, which could be compared to the four movements of a sonata (a sonata within a sonata).’
The first movement is in a modified sonata form with two main themes. The central slow movement is expressive and meditative and the finale features a Choral with well contrasted variations. The piano writing owes a debt to Ravel but also one to Bartok, and is lucid and varied, and the work is easy to follow. It is indeed a splendid work and deserves its status as a masterpiece.
