Henri Dutilleux

Figures De Resonances

Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) was greatly influenced by his contemporaries, Ravel, Debussy and Roussel, yet implemented his own, unique style. His Figures of Resonance is an excellent duet for Two Pianos. This Dutilleux piece was first published in 1980 and is made up of four movements. Figures of Resonance is a group of sequences which forms a variety of sounds within an acoustic. It is a virtuosic and modern work, with pedalling included throughout. Dutilleux's Figures of Resonance remains popular to this day and is a sublime, highly complex piece for performers and audiences alike.
