Pierre Boulez's first piano pieces date from his youth, prior to
his studies in Paris with Messiaen, and his subsequent meteoric
rise to international acclaim as the leader of the musical
avant-garde during the 1950s. His most recent published work is a
solo piano piece, Une page d'ephemeride, written some sixty years
after his first attempts at composition. The piano has remained
central to Boulez's creative work throughout his career, and
although his renown as a conductor has to some extent overshadowed
his other achievements, it was as a performer of his own piano
music that his practical gifts first found expression. Peter
O'Hagan has given performances of various unpublished piano works
by Boulez, including Antiphonie from the Third Sonata and Trois
Psalmodies. In this study, he considers Boulez's writing for the
piano in the context of the composer's stylistic evolution
throughout the course of his development. Each of the principal
works is considered in detail, not only on its own terms, but also
as a stage in Boulez's ongoing quest to invent radical solutions to
the renewal of musical language and to reinvigorate tradition. The
volume includes reference to hitherto unpublished source material,
which sheds light on his working methods and on the
interrelationship between works.
