The characteristics of the piano writing of Dynam-Victor FUMET are varied : the piano is treated as an orchestra, musical thought dictates its logic to the instrument, technically agile play of the higest order is required. Avoiding conformity with languages of the day, his works stands apart by virtue of its harmonic coloring, that, while very French, is not to be found anywhere else. Traditional forms are renewed or banished in favor of works with poetic titles. There are no sonatas, no fantasias, and no concertos. The rule is broken only by a scherzo, and this symbolic exception translates in its way all freedom in Fumet's music.
