At that time, Duchâble caught the attention of Arthur Rubinstein, who encouraged him to pursue a solo career and helped him secure his first important engagements.
Since then, Duchâble has had a successful concert career in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan.
Duchâble has had in his repertoire the concertos of Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Bartók and Ravel, and solo piano works of Liszt, Chopin, and Poulenc.

He had planned three concerts where in two of them, he would destroy two grand pianos, and in one, he would burn his formal concert dress.
He said that he would instead tour with an electronic keyboard around France to give informal concerts.
Duchâble was the classical music technical advisor for the Danièle Thompson film" Fauteuils d'orchestre"( 2006), and performed the solo piano works for the soundtrack.
The fictional character of" Jean- François Lefort" in this film incorporates elements of Duchâble's own expressed attitudes towards the classical music world.
