Abstract:
Claude Debussy’s Pour les Sonorités opposées from Douze Études presents the composer’s new language and experimentations for the keyboard. This lecture- document presents the analysis of Pour les Sonorités opposées, a comparison of interpretations by three pianists, Walter Gieseking, Maurizio Pollini and Mitsuko Uchida, and my own interpretation. The document explores how analysis contributes to a better interpretation.
