One Way by Alexandre Ouzounoff

One Way by Alexandre Ouzounoff is a dynamic concert piece for solo percussion and piano, designed to showcase the expressive range of multi-percussion performance. Published by Alfonce Production, this composition is part of the “Regards” collection curated by Jean Geoffroy, emphasizing contemporary works that blend technical challenge with musical depth.

Scored for a diverse array of percussion instruments—including crash cymbal, ride cymbal, bongos, snare drum, toms, xylophone, vibraphone, and timpani—One Way offers performers an opportunity to explore a wide spectrum of timbres and textures. The interplay between the percussive elements and the piano accompaniment creates a rich tapestry of rhythmic and harmonic interactions, demanding precise coordination and interpretative sensitivity from both musicians.

Structured to highlight the soloist’s versatility, the piece navigates through contrasting sections that range from driving, rhythmic passages to more lyrical, introspective moments. The composition’s architecture allows for a compelling narrative arc, engaging audiences through its evolving musical landscape. The piano part serves not merely as accompaniment but as an equal partner, contributing thematic material and supporting the percussive dialogue.

Suitable for advanced students and professional performers alike, One Way is an excellent addition to recital programs, competitions, and contemporary music showcases. Its moderate instrumentation requirements make it accessible for various performance settings without compromising on artistic impact.
