Alexa Stier plays Diana Rotaru - Bulz for solo piano (2024)

Diana Rotaru (*1981): Bulz (2024) The title "Bulz" (ball, bundle, clot, clod) was chosen both for the pleasure of its sound and to signal some essential coordinates of this work. "Bulz" is primarily a condensed lump of sounds: whether a chromatic, diatonic or pentatonic cluster, or a triad – a bundle of thirds drawn from the essential arsenal of the tonal system and decontextualized by it –, or a bunch of multiple grace notes, or a trill, or a register implosion. Then, the "bulz" is a lump of influences, stylistic features of beloved musics, passed through the composer and passionately baked over low heat: a Debussy lump, a Bartók bite, a Messiaen bundle, a Dediu cluster. Finally, the "bulz" is a delicious, specifically Romanian dish, which determines the form of the work: a Balkan keyboard, kneaded and minced, placed into a jazz crust. The work was written for the 2024 "George Enescu" International Competition.
