Au gré des ondes (Along the Waves) — 6 petites pièces pour piano
Six short piano pieces composed 1946, among the last works before Dutilleux's self-imposed boundary at Op.1. Disowned by the composer but published and recorded. Titles: Prélude en berceuse, Claquettes, Improvisation, Mouvement perpétuel, Hommage à Bach, Étude. They show a fluent and polished salon style, entirely tonal and French in manner — charming precisely because they are so unlike the Piano Sonata that followed months later.
