The opening of Dérive is very characteristic of the musical language of Pierre Boulez through its stunning exploration of texture through statement and decoration. At the opening of the piece a spread chord in the piano outlines the harmonic trajectory for the accompanying instruments who enter one by one with phrases of rapid figuration before resting on long trills or flutters, embedded inside the resonances of the piano and its Dérive: bars 1 - 9 surrounding harmonies. As the music proceeds through the first few bars, certain pitches seem to become more important and more attractive as resting points to the instrumental ensemble. At bar 7 the note D is arrived upon at some stage in the bar by every instrument except the cello. Whilst at bar 12, the note B cuts through marked ff after a flourish in the strings. Dérive: bar 7 Dérive: bar 12
These decorative grace note figures that dart around in a flickering and unpredictable fashion also give the impression of notes gradually appearing and forming through the texture as well as disappearing back into the ever changing surface landscape of the music. From here the music is confined to the middle register for five bars before expanding upwards towards high sustained trills prefaced by increasingly rapid and expressive flourishes. At bar 30 the clarinet leads the piano on a subdued but ornate journey through trills in the cello and vibraphone towards a brief unison D at bar 36. Dérive: bars 30 36
From here the music rises and then falls so that for the first time we hear fragile angular phrases in the low register of the piano.
Over these last few bars the music gradually becomes more dense when at bar 41 the music reaches its most active state as longer melodic lines unfold in canon creating a most luminous glistening web of sound. In this Dérive: bars 41 - way bars 41 to 46 can be said to be the climax of the work even though http://www.soundintermedia.co.uk/boulez-online/compose/guide.html

the general dynamic never rises above mf.
With a repeat of the opening chord at bar 46 the music returns to the initial tempo marking of crotchet = 40. Over a distant, icy version of the opening chord, the piano thoughtfully interjects a series of melodic Dérive: bars 46 - fragments characterised by a group of grace notes leading to a long note 54 followed by a short chord. The end of the piece is marked by a short, delicate rapidly vibrating chord which reduces sound to silence in a second and brings to a close an exquisite timeless floating invention.
