Partition pour piano solo. Claudio Abbado, alors directeur musical de La Scala de Milan, a ete une figure centrale de la vie musicale et culturelle de ma ville natale pendant toute ma periode d'apprentissage au Conservatoire Giuseppe Verdi. J'ai eu le privilege, encore adolescent, de suivre avec grand interet son travail d'interprete du grand repertoire lyrique et symphonique ainsi que son engagement pour defendre la musique de notre temps. Mis a part la place centrale qu'occupe Claudio Abbado parmi les plus grands interpretes des dernieres decennies, on retiendra de lui son intense desir de transmission personnifie par la creation d'orchestres de jeunes auxquelles il a consacre la plus part de son temps depuis que la maladie avait commence a sevir. A l'annonce de son deces le 20 Janvier, il m'a semble indispensable de me souvenir de lui et de lui rendre hommage par cette humble contribution : une Auvre pour piano seul, composee quelques jours apres sa mort et dediee a mon fils Jacopo qui aura quinze ans en cette annee 2014. Tombeau de Claudio Abbado est une piece en forme d'etude qui, compte tenu des difficultes techniques qu'elle comporte, peut etre inscrite dans un cursus d'apprentissage a un niveau avance (debut de troisieme cycle). La piece se deroule selon une ligne dramaturgique tres facilement reperable : apres un depart tres agite, virtuose, sonore et plein de vitalite, le discours musical est interrompu par une partie plus calme et plus douce qui vient ronger de l'interieur les figures rapides jusqu'a gagner tout l'espace et a amener la musique vers un silence de plus en plus present et des sonorites etouffees en sons harmoniques. Gualtiero Dazzi.
