Solal's concept can be associated with a deep understanding of the fact that music is a language and each performance is a conversation between the participants.
The pianist has a lot of ideas to share and each of them is delegated the appropriate amount of time so that the audience can only glimpse its depth. His sequences can easily be translated into sentences, as opposed to more classical approaches where ideas are explored through whole paragraphs or entire chapters. This makes the Solal experience an intense and lively listen which captures the attention thoroughly. One could go so far as to say that even the normal silences and pauses during a verbal "normal" conversation between people are interpreted as tension points in Solal's musical improvisation.
His skill with the instrument is astounding and he is quoted saying this regarding his technique: "The best you play you have to make people believe that it's very easy, even when it's very difficult. If you look to have trouble with the technique, it is no good. You must play the most difficult thing like this:" (Martial Solal interviewed by Larry Appelbaum just before his concert at the Library of Congress, April 11, 2011).
