Compo 🎶 La Lutte

New piano solo compo!

Spirit of the piece

Through a succession of dissonances and harmonies, all in eighth notes, sixteenth notes or triplets, sometimes classical, sometimes jazzy, this piece evokes for me the struggle. The struggle of everyday life, the struggle against a specific subject, the debate itself.

I hope you like it, but for my part it's very interesting to finally be able to express feelings through music.

The compo process

I'm a fairly "young" pianist, having really started out just over three years ago, self-taught and with varying degrees of assiduity. It took me more than a full month from the initial idea to the release of this compo. First idea on February 7 release on March 9 2022.
1 hour a day to compose, fine-tune the details, manage to play correctly, add subtleties and master them. And finally, to be comfortable enough to play it the way I really feel it. When you're at the limit of what you can technically play, it's long and tricky. Incongruous rhythms, ascents/descents, relatively far-fetched chords, enough to keep you busy. But you need what it takes to play what you want to hear, what you feel.

Score

Thanks to Thibaut Lurton for taking over and writing the score.
