Continuing the series of "major transcripts" for piano four hands, that he began by the "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky, and then by the "Prelude à l’après-midi d’un faune" by Debussy, Bruno Rossignol offers here the adaptation of the "Bal" while this work is little pianistic in the writings of the genius orchestrator that was Berlioz. Despite the reduction to a single instrument, one can easily manage to regain the richness of the orchestral timbres. Notably through the expanded use of the keyboard to two performers. While the harps and strings dominate this work into a whirlwind waltz, the transcriber, who is familiar with this formation, omits nothing of the original text. Thus it allows an adapted execution to the piano!.
