Roland DYENS
Comme le jour...
Composed in 2008
With Roland Dyens's music you can always guarantee to get something new, original and different from his last piece and yet utterly worthwhile and interesting; often extremely difficult to play. This latest piece is for only moderately advanced players and is definitely a few steps easier than a lot of his pieces.
Dedicated "à ma fille Yael pour ses 18 ans" this lovely piece begins with a tune marked Nostalgico con tenerezza, and very apt that description is too. Written in G with a dropped D the haunting little tune manages to play out sounding familiar yet possessing some wonderfully unexpected harmonies along the way and like all Dyens there is little or no writing where you can say that it reminds you of such and such a piece elsewhere, for it is utterly original from the word go. Yes it does have its harder moments, as in the very precisely marked trill at bars 21 and 48 to name just one but the rest of it is quite attainable after a little work. After the main theme there is a sudden change of mood marked vigoroso subito where the more playful and vibrant parts of the dedicatee's character are displayed before a gradual drop in speed brings us back to the opening idea and a coda that manages to surprise right up to the final 5/4 bar.
This is effortlessly original, and timelessly gorgeous music to be read played and adored by all, for if any of Dyens music has ever disappointed. I simply cannot remember the occasion. Fabulous.
