\nA<\/span>vec son Concerto pour piano<\/em>, au programme du concert du 23 octobre \u00e0 la Philharmonie de Paris<\/a>, Unsuk Chin c\u00e9l\u00e8bre un instrument qui accompagne son parcours depuis l\u2019enfance. Une \u0153uvre virtuose et foisonnante, qui puise dans plusieurs si\u00e8cles de r\u00e9pertoire pour mieux en r\u00e9inventer les possibles.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u2019est par le piano qu\u2019Unsuk Chin est entr\u00e9e en musique, comme on entre en religion \u2013 quasi litt\u00e9ralement puisque, son p\u00e8re \u00e9tant pasteur d\u2019une \u00e9glise presbyt\u00e9rienne, elle doit accompagner au piano les hymnes chant\u00e9s par les fid\u00e8les, d\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de 8 ans. \u00ab\u00a0Pour moi, se souvient-elle, c\u2019\u00e9tait comme un exercice d\u2019harmonie. Parfois, quand l\u2019assembl\u00e9e s\u2019enthousiasmait, elle chantait plus haut et je devais transposer un demi ton au-dessus \u2013 ou en dessous, c\u2019est selon.\u00a0\u00bb De l\u00e0, sa formation musicale premi\u00e8re se fait sur le tas, sans cadre formel \u2013 la famille n\u2019a pas les moyens de payer un professeur.
\n<\/span>
\nQuand, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 11 ou 12 ans, elle d\u00e9cide de devenir compositrice, le piano reste sa fen\u00eatre sur le r\u00e9pertoire. \u00ab\u00a0J\u2019ai tout appris toute seule. J\u2019\u00e9coutais de la musique tous les jours, de la musique classique occidentale, je jouais du piano et j\u2019\u00e9tudiais des partitions par dizaines. Acheter des enregistrements et des partitions \u00e9tait alors un luxe tr\u00e8s dispendieux. J\u2019empruntais aussi \u00e0 d\u2019autres, et les copiais \u2014 m\u00eame des symphonies, en entier.\u00a0\u00bb
\n<\/span>
\nAussi quand, en 1996, elle re\u00e7oit de la part du BBC National Orchestra of Wales la commande d\u2019un Concerto pour piano<\/em>, elle l\u2019imagine comme un pan\u00e9gyrique au r\u00e9pertoire de l\u2019instrument \u2013 de Scarlatti aux modernes. \u00ab\u00a0Je voulais particuli\u00e8rement mettre en lumi\u00e8re les qualit\u00e9s telles que la vitalit\u00e9, l\u2019\u00e9nergie motrice et la virtuosit\u00e9 de l\u2019instrument \u2013 sa dimension ludique en somme. Une exception cependant\u00a0: la partie de piano ne porte aucune trace de la tradition romantique, o\u00f9, pendant les brillants passages solistes, l\u2019orchestre est rel\u00e9gu\u00e9 \u00e0 un simple r\u00f4le d\u2019accompagnement. Ici, toutes les parties d\u2019orchestre jouent un r\u00f4le important.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

En revanche, la forme du Concerto ne doit rien aux canons classiques\u00a0: chacun de ses quatre mouvements pr\u00e9sentent des caract\u00e8res tranch\u00e9s, mais aucun n\u2019a de structure pr\u00e9d\u00e9termin\u00e9e. \u00ab\u00a0Chaque mouvement se d\u00e9veloppe spontan\u00e9ment \u00e0 partir d\u2019une cellule, laquelle engendre, au moyen de r\u00e8gles simples des r\u00e9sultats impr\u00e9visibles et d\u2019une grande complexit\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>
\nEn r\u00e9sulte une \u0153uvre contrast\u00e9e, qui offre au soliste tout loisir de d\u00e9montrer sa virtuosit\u00e9 et d\u2019explorer toutes les sonorit\u00e9s de son instrument \u2013 et m\u00eame de donner \u00e0 l\u2019occasion le sentiment d\u2019improviser.<\/span><\/p>\n
