 | | Pascal Dusapin, the most important French composer of the generations younger than Boulez or Barraqué, undoubtedly belongs to this category. |
 | | Though himself once a jazz pianist, Dusapin steadfastly refused to write for the piano until 1997, when he composed an important piano trio, and the important recent set of piano études, which take their place alongside the études of Debussy, Bartók and Ligeti as amongst the most significant works within the genre. |
 | | Dusapin's musical aesthetic stands apart from the negations of Helmut Lachenmann, Aldo Clementi, Sciarrino and others, or from the fragmented post-romanticism of Wolfgang Rihm, but that is in no sense to imply that the result is any less 'critical'. |
