about
Traçantes … auprès, au loin … (1976)
“Traçantes … auprès au loin … takes the form of a succession of nine parts, some very short, but two of them very highly developed. These parts may be played in any order chosen by the performer, except for certain sequences impossible to link. They make special demands on effects of resonance in the piano: great use of pedals, deployment of harmonics and the perception of beats arising from neighboring notes. As always in Tremblay’s work, great pools of sonority are opposed to isolated sounds. The composer himself has given us the key to the deeper meaning of this work in the following lines: ”Thus the music, embracing the present moment, achieves a harmony of sorts with all terrestrial movements, and their play of light and shadow.” Claude Helffer
