      The third Concert Sonata op 100 was composed during the fall of 2020. It is dedicated to the violinist Marianne Piketty. With a duration of 12 minutes, it offers three movements. The first movement, lasting 4 minutes, is based on an expressive theme that begins in the low medium part of the instrument. It is played almost recitatively. The central part (bars 16 to 47), proposes a development of each of the measures of the theme. For example: bars 16 to 20: expansion of the first bar, measure 21 to 28: development of the second measure. etc ... The movement ends in a soft atmosphere. The second movement, lasting 4 minutes, takes the form of the Scherzo Trio: A B A ' The first part (bars 1 to 33) is dynamic and mixes arco writing and pizzicatis. A small central part (bars 12 to 16) lets you hear the violin playing with guitar tones: arpeggiated pizz chords. The Trio (bars 34 to 62) develops the first bar of the Scherzo. It is expressive and has a wide amplitude. The return of the Scherzo is modified after the repetition of the first 7 bars and concludes the movement in a beautiful energy. The final, lasting 4 minutes, takes the form of a fugue. The theme is exposed four times, based on, at each of its entries on the open strings of the violin. A counter-subject supports the theme as soon as bar 4 is lifted. The development of the fugue (bars 14 to 47) makes us hear various compilations of the contrapoint (in particular canons around the subject, as in bar 31), but also entertainment derived from the subject's material. The last part makes the subject hear (departure on Mi with the counter-subject) and concludes the Sonata in great light.

      The work, lasting 7 minutes 30 minutes, was composed in December 2020. It is dedicated to Pierre Henri Xuerebwho has commissioned it. Discovering the instrument was a wonderful moment! The softness of the sound, and the quality of the different registers convinced me to write for him. The Prelude, lasting 4 minutes, is made up of two parts. The first, from bar 1 to 23, makes a melodic theme heard in the medium of the instrument. The development is in two parts: The first part goes from bar 24 to 44, the second from bar 45 to 64. A coda at bar 65 ends the prelude in a soft and serene atmosphere. The Dance, lasting 3 minutes 30, offers an ABA 'form. A playful theme will be given three times in the three registers. After a transition to bar 39, a middle part is played from bar 40 to 67. It develops the main theme. The reexposure takes place at bar 68. It varies between repeats of the theme. A last part is played at bar 113 and concludes the work in a beautiful energy.

      The work, with a duration of 5 min 15, was commissioned by Florian Coutet, in order to offer it as a birthday present to his wife Manon Louis, solo harpist at the National Orchestra of Lorraine.
      The title is evocative: boat sails rustling in the wind, mixed with the sound of the sea.
      The work is built in two linked parts:
      The first part goes from bar 1 to bar 46. It describes the soft sound of the sails in a light wind. It is made up of thematic elements which will be developed in two sections. The first section, from bar 10 to 27 and the second section, from bar 28 to 42.
      The second part, from bar 47 to the end, takes the shape of the Rondo. The chorus describes the sails which are more slamming, responding to a wind which is more dry. Two more melodic verses let imagine a more peaceful time.
      The coda, at bar 119, concludes the work in great light.

      THE POET GARDEN OP 97

      The work for piano, lasting 7 min 30, was composed in spring 2020. It is a tribute to the painting of the same name by Vincent Van Gogh and also to the edited poems of my son Paul Gagnaire. Two artists linked by a tragic fate.
      In two movements, it is inspired by the colours of the painting, predominantly green and yellow, and also by the latest poems by Paul Gagnaire.
      The first movement, lasting 4 min 30, consists of three linked parts. It highlights the different shades of green present in the canvas. The first part, from bar 1 to 20, presents a theme with a harmonic and modal character. The second part, from bar 21 to 39, shows gentle variations of an element presented in bar 21. The last part, from bar 40, takes up the theme of the first part with a new harmonic color. The movement ends in a serene atmosphere.
      The second movement, lasting 3 minutes, evokes the yellow color of the painting and the strength of the latest poems by Paul Gagnaire. Yellow, for Van Gogh, is synonymous with joy and happiness. In this painting, he invades the entire back of the canvas. The movement revolves around 3 parts. The first part, from bar 1 to 20, is cheerful and bright. The second part, measure 21 to 45, develops the thematic elements, in particular in clusters of agreements (measures 21 and 23). After the re-exposure, from bar 46 to 53, a new presentation of the theme is made by opposite movement (bars 54 and 55). The movement ends in great energy.

      Piano sonata no.2 op 95

      The 18-minute work was composed in spring 2020 and is dedicated to Jean Baptiste Fonlupt. It is made up of four movements...
      The first movement, lasting 5 minutes 30 minutes, is expressive and melodic in character. The first part (bars 1 to 17) presents the two themes on the left hand in bars 2 and 3, accompanied by sextolets. A development of the different thematic elements is proposed from bar 18 to 37. At the re-exposure (bars 45 to 68), a new development of the themes of the left hand will be given (bars 56 to 73). A coda in bar 74 concludes the movement in a sweet atmosphere.
      The second movement takes the form of the Scherzo-Trio. The scherzo - from bar 1 to bar 27, is built around the harmonic resonances of the instrument. The trio (bars 28 to 48) has a melodic character and let you hear a theme built around chords in fourths. The return of the Scherzo (bar 49) is transposed to the upper tone and concludes the movement with great energy.
      The third movement follows the form A BA'. It is made up of four parts. The first part (bars 1 to 11) presents the theme in the acute medium of the instrument and recalls the sounds of the flute. It will be developed during bar 12 to 43. Two parts make up the development: first part: bar 1 to 21, second part: bars 22 to 43. The re-exposure to bar 44 restores the main theme in canon to the octave. A coda in bar 56 concludes the movement in a soft and poetic light.
      The fourth and last movement takes the form of Rondo. The refrain has an assertive character and is inspired by the shape of a toccata. Two verses (bars 13 to 30 and bars 43 to 61) provide a more melodic atmosphere. The last appearance of the chorus, at bar 62 will give rise to slight modifications.
      The coda, at bar 73, concludes the Sonata with powerful energy.

      IVOIRE op. 81 for piano four hands

      The 11-minute work was written in autumn 2018 and is dedicated to the duo formed by Hervé Billaut and Guillaume Coppola.
      The duet offers the possibility of a quasi-orchestral writing, and allows to create various opportunities of dialogues as well as a rich harmonic writing.
      The work is composed of three movements.
      The first movement, of rather harmonic character, offers a mysterious and sweet atmosphere. Two parts follow each other:
      the first part, from measure 1 to measure 22, plays a modal mode and a melodic element from measure 8 to 10.
      The second part is from measure 23 to measure 38. At measure 39, there is a re-exposure of the first part, a minor third above. The coda, to measure 65 concludes the movement in a calm atmosphere.
      The second movement, of expressive character, can be heard on the first piano, a theme played in octaves with both hands. This theme is supported by five-tone chords. At measure 10 appears a development of the theme, presented in quads only. Then this theme will be harmonized with chords of six sounds in measure 17.
      A second development is proposed from measure 25 to measure 54. After a reexposure in measure 55, a coda will follow from measure 68 and concludes the movement in a mysterious atmosphere.
      The third movement is composed of two linked parts: the first part, from measure 1 to measure 19 is slow and proposes a rewriting of the theme of the second movement.
      The second part is written in a bright and lively tempo. It is also a rewriting of the theme of the beginning of the third movement.
      The work concludes in an energetic and luminous atmosphere.

After a fugal episode based on a part of the subject we will find a supplementary entry on B at measure 18. At measure 26 we will notice the appearance of the subject and the counter -subject by contrary motion with a departure on the note F #. The subject and the counter -subject will be given again by contrary motion with a departure on C # at the measure 30. At measure 37, a canon is given between the subject and its answer on the note G. It will return on the note D at measure 41. At measure 46 the subject and counter-subject are exposed by contrary motion on the note A. They will be given again by contrary motion on the note E at measure 49. After a period of fugal episodes, we will find again the subject and its counter-subject at measure 62 with a departure on the note G. The fugue concludes in a luminous climate. The third movement is a song composed of a theme given during the first ten measures. Its structure is twice 5 measures. It will be given by contrary motion with a departure on B flat with a departure at the end of measure 14. Then it will be presented with a canon at the octave at measure 20. A second thematic element is given on measure 28, it is composed of ascending and descending arpeggios. Measure 30 sees the return of the first theme with a two voices writing.

      EMPREINTES for Clarinet in B flat op.46
      Written in June 2013, these eight pieces which duration is 10 mn 30 are dedicated to the clarinetist Stéphanie Carne who has also commissioned these pieces. The symbolism of numbers mark covers the eight movements.
      1 is the symbol of Unity, of God, the creative principle. I have used for this all the complete range of the clarinet, the Unity is present throughout the instrumental spectrum.
      2 represents the duality, the opposition beetwen good and evil, yin and yang, sun and moon, day and night. The second piece is composed of two different elements : the first is written with shorts descending and ascending arpeggios, the second element is slower and melodic. There is a juxtaposition of two distinct musical ideas.
      3 represents the perfect number, the Trinity but rather the three stages of life.
      For this, I have written a short piece, very melodic, composed of three notes. During the short development the three notes are enriched with their appogiaturas.
      4 is the symbol of the Earth, of the stability, of the raw material which unfolds through the sensible world, the four seasons, the four cardinal points. The music relies on a group made of four repeated notes, a symbol of stability. It is a piece with a dynamic character.
      5 represents Nature, Quintessence, the five elements, the five fingers of the hand. I have composed the piece whith a melodic phrase of five notes around a measure of 5 beats. It is an expressive piece played in the medium and lower register of the clarinet.
      6 is the symbol of the six days of the creation of the world, and of the Star of David, of the Salomon seal. It also represents the harmony. The music is based on ample sextuplets of semiquavers ascendant and descendant. The ambitus of the clarinet is wide.
      Like the first numbers 7 has a sacred character. God ended the world in six days and took a rest on the seventh. It also represents the seven planets and the seven notes of the scale. The music is based on arpeggios of seven notes played non legato and legato. The character of the piece is ample and melodic.
      8 is the symbol of infinity, balance and harmony.
      The last piece offers a reminder of the pieces 3 and 5, is composed of 8 – note arpeggios
      The work ends in a serene and bright atmosphere.

      Written during the spring 2003, this Sonata which lasts 15 mn has been composed for and dedicated to Henri Demarquette. It is a tribute to the talent of this great cellist.
      This Sonata is composed of three movements. Each movement offers the distinctive feature to associate the first and last name of Henri Demarquette to the corresponding musical notes.
      The 1st movement offers an ornament of each letter of the first name of Henri. It is a slow and expressive movement which could be compared to a large vocalise.
      The 2nd movement, built around the last name : Demarquette, is in 3 parts : vif, pui lento, vif .
      This movement contrasts the very rhythmic and incisive character of the two parts « vif » with the more melodic writing of the central « pui lento » in the high pitch of the instrument.
      The 3rd movement combines the first name and the last name of dedicator in a single thema developped as a tiento. This is an ancient musical form, appeared in Spain in the XVI th century, wich is based like the Italian form ricercare on a contrapuntal writing proceeding by imitations. However, it presents a difference with the ricercare : it allows more flexibility in the musical form and enables a perfect alliance of a thematic form with a virtuoso composition.

      It is a concert piece which can also be played during the liturgy.

      The Entry invites believers to the gathering in a cheerful atmosphere, sustained by a fluid and monothematic writing.

      The Offertory is a soft meditation on the teaching of God. After this meditation, a more dramatic central part takes place, describing Man in front of death. The Offertory is concluded in a peaceful climate.

      The Communion is a serene and meditative piece based on the intimacy between the Lord and us.It is composed of very soft chords, on which appears a thema played with "jeux de gambe " and "voix celeste" .

      The Exit is written in the spirit of a virtuoso tocatta .It is built on a very lively melodic motive presented in the introduction of this movement. Full of energy, it illustrates the joy of Man, who benefits from the teaching of God to become better.

      The score is presented in modern music writing. A tablature is available, developed by Caroline Delume, the lutenist who has created the work.

      Tiento literally means grope. It is an ancient musical form, appeared in Spain in the XVIth Century, which is based, like the italian form « Ricercare », on a contrapuntal writing proceeding by imitations. But the Tiento has a difference with the ricercar : it allows more flexibility in the musical form, and enables a perfect alliance of a strict form with a virtuous composition. The musical colours (harmonics, chords, increasingly declaimed strokes) at first spurt out timidly, but as the work unwinds, they tend to take up an increasing part. There is no struggle between both forms, rather a search for balance and alliance.

      The work, lasting 15 minutes, was composed during the summer of 2024. It is intented for the choral organ of the Church of Saint Louis in Toulon, in France. Dedicated to Frédéric Audibert and Pascal Marsault, it consists of two movements. The first movement, lasting 7 minutes, is titled : Shadows and Lights. It is an expressive in nature and offers changes in atmosphere, ranging from a character close to a Lamento to more soothing writing. Four parts can be distinguished. The first part goes from measure 1 to measure 18. It presents two themes : the first evolving during the first six beats adn the second, played over the following three beat. The second part goes from measure 19 to measure 65. It develops the first and second themes and offers an instrumental cadenza to the violoncello then, to the organ. The third part, beginning at measure 66, reintroduces the two themes, and from measure 69, a new development is heard. The coda, starting at measure 81, concludes the first movement in a soft and peaceful atmosphere. The second movement is a theme followed by four variations. The theme consists of three thematic elements : Measure 1 to 3 : a Measure 4 : b Measure 6 : b', particularly focusing on the rhythm of sixteenth notes. The first variation, melodic in nature and based on thematic element a, is followed by an energetic and dense second variation, also based on the element a. The third variation offers an gentle luminosity and develops element b. The fourth variation develops element b again, in a bianry and very lively rhythmic mode. After a recall of the first theme from the first movement, the violoncello will play a large instrumental cadenza, before repeating the first nine measures of the fourth variation and concluding the work in a great light. My French Suite proposes a modal work, rich in colourful impressions, and refers to the musical tradition of works from Debussy, Ravel, as well as the French organ school, notably the music of Olivier Messiaen.

      Written during the summer 2015, this Sonata which duration is 13 mn is dedicated to Jean Louis Beaumadier, who has also commissioned the work. The piccolo, alone, exposes the theme of the first movement. It is melodic and very expressive. It will be given then by the piano, harmonized.This theme is developed with new counterpoints during all the first part (- until measure 34 -).
      A second theme issued from the first one will be given from measure 35 on the two instruments. Its character is bright and rhythmic. The recapitulation at measure 55 will cause new developments. The movement ends in a mysterious climate.
      The second movement adopts the Rondo form. The theme of the refrain is given by the piano at the beginning of the movement. It relies on resonances of harmonics and its character is bright.
      Two episodes will punctuate the return of the refrain, the first one at measure 31, issued of the head of the theme of the refrain, and, the second episode at measure 57.
      During the second episode, the piccolo is developing a cadenza. At measure 89, the theme of the refrain is given again, in parts exposed by contrary motion.
      The work concludes in a joyful and luminous climate.

      Sonate for double bass and piano op 52
      The work which duration is 18 mn has been written during spring 2014.
      It is composed of three movements and is dedicated to the double bassist Thierry Barbé who is also the commissioner.
      The first movement is composed of two themes well distinct.
      The first theme relies on the musical letters of the first name Thierry and is given by the left hand of the piano at the beginning of the work. This theme will be played again by the double bass then developed as a dialogue between the two instruments.
      The second theme relies on soft chords given by the piano (measure 44 ), then will be given with melodic intervention of the double bass.
      After the recapitulation of the two themes, the movement concludes in a dynamic atmosphere for introducing the second movement.
      The second movement gets closer to the shape of a Scherzo-Trio.
      The scherzo is composed of two themes. The first theme relies on the musical letters of the name of the double bassist Barbé. It is joyful with pizzicatos at the double bass. The second theme relies on an accompaniement of repeated notes at the piano with a melodic motif which comes from the first theme at the right hand of the piano. The double bass plays parallel fifths. The atmosphere is still dynamic.
      The Trio is very expressive and emphasizes the sound of the double bass. It relies on large arpeggios given by the piano.
      The two themes of the scherzo will be given again by inverse movement of the two instruments.
      The third movement is composed of two parts :
      The first part is very expressive and has a modal character and includes a Cadenza of the double bass which remembers the theme of the first movement.
      The second part is lively and has a joyful character. It favours the dialogue between the two instruments.
      The sonata concludes in a luminous atmosphere.

      Three Fantasies for violin and harp op. 48
      Written during the autumn of 2013, these three Fantasies which duration are 12 mn are dedicated to the violonist Philippe Villafranca and the harpist Manon Louis who have also commissioned these pieces.
      The first Fantasie sets out a theme in chords given by the harp. The violin takes back the notes of the mode followed by a melodic ascendant motive which the harp accompagnies with harmonics notes. A small rhythmic element played on bar 20 will be developed in the central part of the movement which duration is 3 mn 50.
      The second Fantasie which duration is 5 mn is a slow and expressive movement. The violin introduces the main theme which has an ascendant profile accompagnied by the harp in batteries. Afterwords it will be given to the harp with the violin in batteries. This theme will be developed with a canon at the octave and then by the violin in double notes accompagnied by the harp. We will find again the main theme still given by the violin during the recapitulation. The coda will restore the theme in the high pitch order and will conclude the movement in a soft light.
      The third Fantasie which duration is 3 mn 15 is based on a theme composed of two parts. The character is cheerful and dancing. First of all it is given by the violin and then by the harp. The development will offer a dialogue between the two instruments with more particularly the theme given with a canon at the octave.
      The work concludes in a luminous atmosphere.

      This Sonata which duration is 16 mn is in four movements . The piece is written around a very expressive melodic thema played by the cello alone at the begining of the 1st movement . It will be constantly developped and varied during all the Sonata. The 2nd movement is very fast and rythmical. Written in the spirit of a scherzo, it is composed with 2 elements which are given to each instrument.These 2 elements are reversible. The 3rd movement is a Lamento : it offers a large and very expressive cadenza for the cello built around the initial thema. The Final is a perpetual movement, playing with rythmical figures of 5 notes . This 4th movement is concluded with the come back of the first thema as a coda. This Sonata has been written in a climate of solitude and meditation.

      Written in 2000, the Sonata for piano and violin is a transcription of the sonata for viola and piano.
      The piece which duration is 13 mn, is composed of one movement where we can distinguish three parts.
      In the initial exposition, the piano presents a melodic element which will be the compositional ferment of all the work.
      It is first developed as a melodic dialogue, and then in a second period exposed in a rhythmical way.
      After the recapitulation, the violin, then the piano, express themselves in a musical writing near the spirit of a Cadenza.
      At this moment, the Sonata gives the privilege to the special colors and tones of the soloists.
      The Final leans on the rhythmical element presented during the exposition but in a tempo much more lively and brilliant.
      It concludes the Sonata in an intense and luminous harmonic climate.

      This piece obtained a Sacem award for music creation. The composition is made of an expressive melodic fabric, opposed to purely rhythmic elements. At the begining of the piece, the expressive and melodic elements are predominant, then the rhythmic elements are introduced : repeated chords, abrupt and spasmodic rhythm, resonance effects on the wood of the guitar. Then the two components, horizontal and vertical, are confonted and opposed, and they gradually narrow down : the texture blows out, the spiral of resonance raises towards the infinite.

      The Trio for viola d'amore, viola and percussions was composed in the winter of 2024. Lasting 13 minutes, it is a commission from Pierre - Henri Xuereb, to whom it is dedicated. It consists of two movements. The first movement, lasting 8 mn 40, features a modal theme. It is followed by six variations, the fifth variation features an instrumentally reversed re exposure. The percussion instruments chosen are resonant and gentle : gongs, crotales, triangle, suspended cymbals and vibraphone colour the music with great gentleness. I paid particular attention to the dialogue between the different instruments, favouring melodic lines. The second movement, lasting 4 mn 20, is cheerful and dynamic, and adopts the Rondo structure. it features a theme played with pizzicatis by the two string instruments, supported by the wood - blocks. It is followed by two verses and an instrumental cadenza of the two string instruments at bar 111. The percussions chosen for this movement are light : the wood - blocks and the xylophone, which supports the theme in dialogue with the viola d'amore and viola. The work concludes with great energy.

      The formation of a String Trio is expressive and allows many instrumental combinations. However, its balance is more fragile than a String Quartet and requires special attention. I made sure to offer many instrumental colours, both harmonic and also very melodic. The 20 mn work was composed in January 2022. It was commissioned by the Ensemble des Equilibres and is dedicated to the violonist Agnès Pyka. The Trio has three movements. The first movement, with a duration of 8 mn 30, revolves around two very distinct themes. The first theme A, melodic and expressive, is played by the viola from bar 1, and is largely developed until bar 64. The second part, at bar 65, plays without transition a more harmonic second theme B. It is followed by a development up to bar 105. The third part re -exposes theme A, but changes the instrumentation. The movement ends in a soft light. The second movement, with a duration of 5 mn, is a Scherzo Trio. When the Scherzo returns, at bar 59, the first six bars will be repeated, then developed in a serene atmosphere. The third movement, lasting 6 mn 30, begins with a very expressive theme A for the violoncello, accompanied by pizzicatis. A sceond theme B is exposed from bar 26 to 42, it is more dynamic and happier. At bar 43, a third melodic theme C appears. We will notice a return from bar 59, first of theme B, slightly modified, then of theme A also differently. The work ends with a coda in bar 80 of soft light.

      A perpetual movement lives up the last movement. It is shared out between the three instruments, which dialogue like that during the major part of the movement.

      This trio was composed at the beginning of 2000 and consists of three movements. It was written as a tribute to Robert Schumann ans is dedicated to the Archipel Trio who supported the creation of the piece.

      The 1st movement is moderate, the cello and the violin lean on ample harmonies given by the piano. The character of the 1st theme, played by cello in its low register, is incisive. It allows various instrumental combinations. A 2nd theme, powerful, made of chords, is distributed among the three musicians ; it results from the evolution of the 1st theme and is the culminating point of the movement.

      The 2nd movement offers a real contrast to the 1st movement. It begins with the presentation of the expressive and slow theme by the cello alone. In the following it is played in turns by the piano and the violin. Only two chords support the whole harmonic atmosphere of this movement.

      The final movement presents two contrasting and rhythmical themes. The first one is recognisable by its simultaneously low and high register at the piano. It is repeated throughout the finale and is evolved at each time it reoccurs. The second theme is monorhythmical and uses different accents and variations.

These instruments, melodic by essence, are involved in a one movement piece, of which the contemplative atmosphere underlines the specific character of each instrument. The overall structure is articulated as a mirror, and is followed by a long coda expressed by the vibraphone. The rhythmic proliferation, here, is not a factor of instrumental tension, rather a path toward harmony and simplified musical volumes.

      The String Quartet n° 7 op 129, lasting 19 minutes and in three movements, was composed in the spring 2024. The first movement, lasting 7 minutes, has three parts. It is energic in character, developing around thematic cells from bars 1 to 12. The second part, from bars 13 to 63, develops the thematic elements and the fourth chords played in bars 10 and 11. The re - exposure occurs at bar 64, then develops bars 6 and 7 again. The coda at bar 84 concludes the movement in a sustained mood. The second movement with a duration of 6 minutes features a theme followed by six variations. The theme is highly expressive, given by the cello and supported by gentle chords from the other three instruments. The six variations retain this dreamlike quality, with, for example, a canon - like development between the first violin and the violoncello in the 4 th variation at bar 40. The movement ends in a very gentle atmosphere. The finale, lasting 5 minutes 30, in in ABA' from. After a melodic introduction ( bars 1 to 8 ), a cheerful theme in introduced in bar 9. It is given to the two violins, supported by a light accompaniment from the other two instruments. A development is proposed up to bar 45. A central section B ( bars 46 to 66 ) develops the introduction in a highly melodic mood, highlighting the dialogue between the instruments. The return of A, at bar 67, first sets out the theme and then, from bar 73 onwards, proposes a new development played until bar 103. The coda, from bar 104 onwards, builds on the introduction and theme A. It concludes the quartet with great light and energy.

      String quartet n ° 6 op. 99

      The String Quartet No. 6 op. 99 was composed in the fall of 2020, and is dedicated to the Aviv Quartet. The duration is 19 minutes and comprises four movements. The first movement, lasting 6.30 minutes, is a tribute to Bartok's sixth quartet. Like this one, the viola gives the main theme of the movement. This one is expressive and will be developed up to bar 77. A second theme is proposed in bar 78, it is modal in nature. The first theme returns at bar 100, combined with theme B. The re-exposure takes place at bar 108. The coda in bar 138 concludes the movement in a rather dark atmosphere.
      The second movement, lasting 3.50 minutes, is composed of a theme mixing pizz and arco. The character is happy. It highlights the dialogue between the two bass instruments and the two violins. In bar 14, a more expressive B theme is played by the first violin, which will be developed up to bar 26. In bar 27, the first theme returns, more broadened, as for example, the opposite movement of bars 30 to 35. There is a return of the second theme in bar 46, also more developed. Theme A concludes the movement in a luminous atmosphere.
      The third movement, lasting 5 minutes, presents a theme in successive entries. This one is expressive and is accompanied by a counter-subject. The four entries revolve around the notes: G, D, E. A second theme, from the main theme, is offered at bar 35, it is given to the first violin, accompanied by soft drums. Theme A returns to bar 55, with a start on note C (at the low fifth of the previous entries). The coda in bar 64 is based on the first bar of the theme. The final, lasting 4 minutes, is made up of 4 very distinct parts. An energetic introduction takes place from measure 1 to 12.
      A first theme A takes place at bar 13, it is given by the viola and the two violins, then by the cello at bar 30. Its character is dynamic. A second theme is presented at bar 40, with a more expressive profile. A last part, at bar 72, returns the theme A transposed. A coda exhibited at bar 98, the quartet concludes with great energy.

      Colors op. 74 for four cellos

      Colors op. 74 for four cellos is composed of four movements and has a duration of 14 minutes. It seemed essential to me to vary the different movements, in order not to get a similarity of timbre due to instrumental training.
      The first and third movements correspond in their great expressiveness and melodic profiles. The second and fourth movements are more dynamic and show different types of instrumental performance: pizzicato for the duration of the second movement, pizz, arco and col legno for the final movement.
      Colors owes its title to the painting of Nicolas de Staël and in particular to his use of primary colors in his last period (1950 - 1955). The bright and bright paintings guided my compositional work throughout his journey. At different times of the work, each cello is also highlighted by a solo writing. In fact, each performer has its own instrumental colour, which is different from that of the other musicians. It is also a reference to the painting of Staël where one can admire, for example, several shades of blue or red.
      The work favors expression and sound cohesion.

      the third section from bar 28 to 30
      A second theme is given at bar 31, it is played by the two violins in a rhythmic ostinato at the viola and the cello. It has a vigorous character.
      The recapitulation is given at bar 76 and finishes the movement in an energetic atmosphere.
      The second movement has an expressive character, it is composed by a theme followed by 9 variations.
      It is introduced by a mode which will be given several times during the movement and will be also developed.
      The third movement is short and uses only pizzicatos.
      It is composed by a theme of two bars setted out by the cello, then played step- by- step by the three other instruments. It is enriched by a second thematic element during its second appearance at the viola.
      Its character is dynamic and cheerful.
      The last movement is composed by two thematic elements. The first element is composed of a melodic descendant element given by the two violins then by the cello.The main theme is played by the viola at bar 7 with an incisive and dynamic character.

      The piano Quartet opus 28 which duration is about 20 mn, has been written during the autumn 2003. It is composed of 3 movements and is part of a cycle of works dedicated to chamber music. Indeed, after several sonatas for piano and strings, a trio with piano, a string quartet, writing a quartet for piano and strings offers the opportunity for a new search of sounds alliances and instrumental balance.
      The writing of the 1st movement develops a melodic element introduced from the beginning of the work under the shape of the dialogue between the piano and the strings. This main element is the keystone of all the movement. First rhythmical and sarcastic, then slow and expressive, and resonant and mysterious, it also will be developed in chords and sustained by a dynamic full of energy and of instrumental contrasts.
      The 2nd movement is sustained by 2 very expressive climates. The first one is given by the piano : it is constituted by a melodic layer made of tiny changes at each iteration. For strings, they offer a very intense theme made of stacked fifth chords which are also subject to harmonic evolutions. The piano solo concludes the movement in a very harmonic atmosphere, which leads to the 3rd movement.
      The 3rd movement is built around a unique lively theme, mixing various instrumental attacks of the strings : arco and pizzicato . It is built of 5 linked parts, during which the theme is developed with different counterpoints. Indeed, inspired by the fugue form, this movement proposes to hear a real renewal of the monothematic work : straight theme, inverse theme, or stacked together, two in one canon, three in one canon, crab canon…
      After a large recapitulation by inversion movement, the theme of the 1st movement is given again, mysteriously, and allows to conclude the Quartet in a great musical unity.

      Gold Medal of 35e Concours International de Composition de l’Académie de Lutèce.
      Each movement is built with a particular writing and atmosphere. However, the unity of the piece is deeply thought, and the listener will find connections between the 1st and the last mvt, the 2nd and the 4th mvt. The 3rd mvt, central point of the piece, has a different writing.
      In the 1st mvt, it is an energic and harmonic atmosphere which dominates. In fact, the first 3 chords are the ferment of the whole movement.
      The 2nd mvt, slow and expressive, first proposes a melodic thema given in dialogue between the viola and the cello. It will be distributed at the recapitulation to the violin, in the low register, and to the cello in the high register. This thema is interspersed with a more harmonic and lively writing, involving all instrumentists.
      The 3rd mvt offers a contrapuntal writing, developed as a four in two canon : fluidity of the 2 violins answering to the pizzicati of the viola and the cello. This four in two canon will be recapitulated by inversion with a new instrumental distribution.
      The refinement of the sounds and the great expression of the Quartet dominates the 4th mvt. This one begins with a sad and slow thema given by the altist. This thema will be distributed in the coda to the cellist in harmonics sounds. This thema is surrounded with lively fragments, first of all horizontal, then in chords written with tremolos.
      The final concludes the Quartet in a very fast rhythm taking again the harmonic colors of the 1st mvt, while developing them again. It is made of a crab canon by inversion. It demands from all instrumentists a very challenging virtuosity.

      The Quartet « in Jubilo » which duration is 18 mn, has been composed during September - October 1999 and revised in 2002. Sacem award for creation.
      The instrumental ensemble specially attracts me because of the blend of sounds it offers : great expression of the strings, warm colors of the clarinet combined with the full tone of the piano.
      Three movements composed the work, each one with a very different musical atmosphere.
      The 1st movement is built around the resonance of the piano. It is made of 7 variations which follow each other, and express growing dynamic.
      The 2nd movement, cheerful and lively, proposes different rhythmic entries, based on various instrumental techniques.
      The 3rd movement, more intimate, concludes the Quartet in a sad and serene atmosphere, offering to the musicians a new opportunity of musical dialogues.

      This is a piece for a virtuoso, which could be compared to traditional North African music : slow unwinding of the melody, meditative nature, ample and barely perceptible melodic developments, usage of micro-intervals and chiefly work on the breath, which is used in the composition as a material, in the same way as the music writing itself. The breath is enlarged, broken, made iridescent, and developed in its many possibilities of amplitude. The incessant undulation of the timbres of the various flutes was inspired by the painting « Interieur » from Nicolas de Staël, and reflects the movement of the colours of the painting.

      Quintet for string quartet and piano op 94

      The quintet for string quartet and piano op 94 was written in the spring of 2020. Lasting 18 minutes, it was commissioned by cellist Florent Audibert, soloist at the Rouen Opera. The work is dedicated to him.
      It is composed of three movements and highlights the dialogue between the strings and the piano. The first movement, of solemn and intense character, and, of a duration of 7 mn there is a broad harmonic introduction on the piano, followed by the entry of the strings at measure 10. They present the main theme which is of modal character. Several elements are presented, such as for example, in measure 3, and 15 will be developed during the movement.
      After this first part (measure 1 to 40), a second part in the measures 40 to 68 develops the different elements, in particular the theme stated on the strings in measure 10 and following. The re-exhibition takes place at bar 69. It will give rise to new thematic developments. A coda is proposed at measure 102, concluding the movement with great energy.
      The second movement, with a duration of 6 minutes, presents a theme with a melodic and soft character, in the acute medium of the piano. This theme is taken up in the quartet in bar 7 and following, accompanied by a counter-song, notably on the second violin. After the first part (bars 1 to 21), a second part (bars 22 to 46) develops the main theme and brings out a climax of intensity in bar 34. The third part, (bars 47 to 66), proposes new developments, in particular a canon with four voices on the main theme (bars 52 to 53 and 58 to 60). A short coda, preceded by a re-exposure of the theme, takes place in bar 81 and concludes the movement in a soft light.
      The last movement with a duration of 4 and a half minutes, is made up of three very distinct parts. The first, from bar 1 to 29, gives fugato inputs to the various stringed instruments. Each entry is set out in the upper right fifth and is accompanied by a counter subject. The second part, (bars 1 to 63) presents a theme with a melodic and joyful character. It will be developed with different instruments, for example increased rhythmically in measures 57 and following.
      A final part, presto, concludes the quintet with great energy.

      Commissioned by the « Quintet L », the Quintet for winds op 30 has been composed in March 2004 (Ist and IInd movement ) and between January - March 2005 ( IIIrd, IVth and Vth movement ).
      The internal architecture of the work relies on connections between the Ist, IIIrd and Vth movement, as well as between the IInd and IVth movement.
      The Ist movement presents a short melodic fragment distributed between different tones. It is the compositional ferment of this movement as well as in the 3rd and 5th movements.
      During the Ist movement, this melodic element will vary imperceptibly in its harmony and its instrumental repartition each time it will appears. These melodic permutations are separated by chords coming from these melodic fragments.
      The IIIrd movement composed of 3 parts, develops again this short melodic fragment, beginning with the piccolo. It is surrounded by new melodic themes played by the horn in dialogue with the oboe, then with the clarinet in B. It also permits to hear this short melodic fragment harmonized with wide chords, played by all musicians.
      The Vth movement, made of 5 variations, presents a new development of the melodic and harmonic element of the Ist movement. The bassoon and the B flat clarinet present a melodic ascendant motive which will be taken over by different instruments in a large climb of pitch order. In the 2nd variation, it is an harmonic climate which dominates : resonance of chords or attacked chords sustained by a melodic two voices writing. The 3rd variation is a recapitulation by inversion of the 1st variation and leads the quintet to a deep pitch order. After a 4th variation fugato, the 5th variation will offer a short reminder of the beginning of this last movement, followed by a quotation of the Ist movement played by the B flat clarinet and the oboe, as well as a reminder of the IIIrd movement given by the piccolo.
      The Quintet ends into a vigorous musical climate.
      About the IInd and the IVth movement, they offer to the flute in G and the English horn in the IInd movement, then to the horn and the E flat clarinet in the IVth movement, a slow and very expressive melody, nearly free "ad libitum", and serene.
      The work allows the listener to discover all the wealth of this formation : to benefit from the soloists tone and also from the alliance of the tone of these 9 instruments.

      The work, in three movements, and lasting 20 minutes was composed in the spring of 2022. It is dedicated to Géraldine Mulsant. The sextet offers a very wide harmonic range as well as various very varied instrument combinations. The first movement, which lasts 8 mn 30, is composed of four parts. It sets out a vigorous A theme, based on 7- note chords, and will be developed up to bar 60. At bar 62, a melodic and soft B theme is played by the first violin. It will be developed until bar 115. From measure 116, a recapitulation of theme A is played, and them gives rise to a new development with in particular theme A moving contrary to meausre 139. The coda, at bar 196, is based on the head of theme A and concludes the movement with great energy. The second movement, lasting 5 mn 40, i made up of three parts. The first part goes from bar 1 to bar 56. Theme A gives rise to two sets of contrasting nuances, and is played in pizzicatis. At bar 16, a new melodic B element is introduced to the first violin, doubled an octave lower by the first viola. It is followed by a development up to bar 56. During this one, note the contrary movement of theme B at bar 40. The second part is exposed from bar 57 to 100. it presents theme A by contrary movement and them develops it up to bar 100. The third part begins at bar 104 and gives theme A again. A new development will be written from measure 114. The coda, at bar 141, also concludes the movement with great energy. The third movement, lasting 6 mn, is composed of an expressive and melodic modal theme followed by 4 variations. The first variation, of a melodic nature is presented from measure 21 to measure 38. The second variation, from bars 39 to 62, is also expressive and develops the theme, notably accompanied by gentle triple notes. The third variation harmonizes the main theme. It is played from measure 63 to 84. A transition from bar 85 to 91 brings the playful atmosphere of the last variation. The latter, from bar 92 to the end, gives rise to different colors and sets of rhythms, which conclude the movement in a beautiful luminosity.

      The work which duration is 17 mn has been written during March 2012 and is dedicated to the Manfred Quartet and T'Ang Quartet.
      It is composed of 5 movements and emphasizes the dialogue between the two quartets. The 1st movement introduces as a first theme the melodic and harmonic modes which will be the ferment of the complete double quartet. Each mode is given to one quartet which answer to the other, developing them. A second theme offers to the double quartet the possibility to play all together.
      It is accompagnied with pizzicatos and with an ostinato of double semiquavers at the cello. The recapitulation offers a new distribution of the themes to the two quartets. The movement concludes in a great energy.
      A nocturnal climate which is accompagnied with soft tremolos and harmonics characterizes the melodic theme of the second movement.It is given to the two cellos, one played arco, the other pizzicatos. A second more harmonic element will be developped at the middle of the movement before the recapitulation of the first theme.
      The third movement is mostly harmonic. In a lively tempo it develops the chords of the harmonic mode. It shows a great instrumental unity. A second theme will be given by the first quartet sustained by the pizzicatos of the second quartet.The recapitulation will offer a new thematic distribution.
      The fourth movement is not written with the modes previously developed. It is an elegy given successivly to the two quartets. A harmonic quotation will be given in the middle of the movement before the recapitulation of the main theme.
      The final offers a new listening of the harmonic and melodic modes. They will be developed in a lively atmosphere, favouring the dialogue between the two quartets. A second harmonic theme will introduce large chords distributed to the two quartets. A variation of this second theme will allow the possibility to hear all the instrumentalists playing pizzicatos.
      The work concludes in an energic and luminous climate.

      These two songs belong to a cycle commissioned by la Péniche Opéra. The first song « J' embrasse » is written in the style of a recitative : the piano supporting very discreetly the mischievous evocation of the poem.The comprehension of the text remains essential. In the second song « Volontairement captive », the fusion between the piano and the voice is stronger and more intense. The poem is more emotional and less libertine.

      Text of the first song
      J'embrasse
      J'embrasse toute la surface et la profondeur de ton corps.
      Je suce tous tes orteils, oreilles et seins.
      Je mordille tous tes lobes, langues et languettes.
      Je lèche tous tes petits plis, trous et recoins.
      Toutes tes lèvres, babines, membranes et muqueuses, je les caresse.
      Peut être bien que je t'aime ?

      Text of the second song
      Volontairement captive
      Volontairement captive, je te donnerai ma chair et mon sang.
      Je serai l'amante impudique de tes nuits.
      Tu seras le cri pourchassé sur mes lèvres.
      Dans la fièvre de tes étreintes
      Tu seras la main aux doigts d'acier
      Qui me force et me plie

      Composed in 1998 on the poem « Tabacaria » from the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, these 3 melodies, which duration is about 11 mn, are written for a countertenor voice. They are also suited to the pitch of a mezzo-soprano.The text of the melodies is made with some extracts of this long poem.
      The climate of the melodies is very expressive : the piano supports the soft tone of the Portuguese language and develops serene harmonies around the text.
      The 1st melody illustrates a pessimistic moment of the poem but is also hopfull.
      The 2nd one, more lively, has for thema the lucidity of the man in front of his destiny.
      As for the 3 rd melody, it concludes the cycle developing some musical motives, exposed in the 1st melody, and leans on a passage of the poem where the autor dreams about the happy encounter of the ideal woman.

      Written in 1984 on anonymous poems, these 3 melodies for sporano, flute and piano have a duration of 5mn 30.

      The 1st melody for soprano, flute and piano illustrates a very pessimistic text where the poet sinks into an extreme despair. The instruments support this climate with a very tense language.

      The 2nd melody for soprano and piano is based on a poem describing an impossible love, and offers to the voice and the piano a high lyrism.

      The 3rd melody for soprano a capella brings out a text full of joy due to a shared love.
      The voice, covering a large pitch offers a classical musical form where a refrain is surrounded with 2 episodes. The voice gives the impression of an almost improvised melody.

      The work, in three movements, and lasting 20 minutes was composed in the spring of 2022. It is dedicated to Géraldine Mulsant. The sextet offers a very wide harmonic range as well as various very varied instrument combinations. The first movement, which lasts 8 mn 30, is composed of four parts. It sets out a vigorous A theme, based on 7- note chords, and will be developed up to bar 60. At bar 62, a melodic and soft B theme is played by the first violin. It will be developed until bar 115. From measure 116, a recapitulation of theme A is played, and them gives rise to a new development with in particular theme A moving contrary to meausre 139. The coda, at bar 196, is based on the head of theme A and concludes the movement with great energy. The second movement, lasting 5 mn 40, i made up of three parts. The first part goes from bar 1 to bar 56. Theme A gives rise to two sets of contrasting nuances, and is played in pizzicatis. At bar 16, a new melodic B element is introduced to the first violin, doubled an octave lower by the first viola. It is followed by a development up to bar 56. During this one, note the contrary movement of theme B at bar 40. The second part is exposed from bar 57 to 100. it presents theme A by contrary movement and them develops it up to bar 100. The third part begins at bar 104 and gives theme A again. A new development will be written from measure 114. The coda, at bar 141, also concludes the movement with great energy. The third movement, lasting 6 mn, is composed of an expressive and melodic modal theme followed by 4 variations. The first variation, of a melodic nature is presented from measure 21 to measure 38. The second variation, from bars 39 to 62, is also expressive and develops the theme, notably accompanied by gentle triple notes. The third variation harmonizes the main theme. It is played from measure 63 to 84. A transition from bar 85 to 91 brings the playful atmosphere of the last variation. The latter, from bar 92 to the end, gives rise to different colors and sets of rhythms, which conclude the movement in a beautiful luminosity.

      Written for solo violin and orchestra, it was not my intention to write a work of virtuosity but to support the message of life that Saint Exupery gives to us.
      The meeting with the aviator and the request of drawing a sheep, the meeting with the fox and the snake and finally the death of the small prince have been my major sources of inspiration.

      Suite for Strings Orchestra op 42 The work which duration is 17 min has been written during the fall 2012 and is dedicated to the Conductor Nicolas Chalvin. It is composed of 5 movements and is the orchestration of my double quartet op 40. As a first theme the first movement introduces the melodic and harmonic modes which will be the musical ferment of the complete Suite. A second theme which has a dancing character is given to the first violins, the second violins,the violas and the double bass. It is surrounded by pizzicatos and an ostinato of semiquaver given by the cellos. The movement concludes in a great energy. A nocturnal climate which is accompanied with soft tremolos and harmonics characterizes the melodic theme of the second movement. It is given to the three cellos and the double bass with a blend of pizzicatos and arco. A second more harmonic element will be developed at the middle of the movement before the recapitulation of the first theme. The third movement is mostly harmonic. In a lively tempo it develops the chords of the harmonic mode. It shows a great instrumental unity. A second theme which is melodic will be given by the second violins, then by the first violins. The recapitulation will offer the possibility to listen the chords with a new fundamental note. The fourth movement is not written with the modes previously developed. It is an elegy introduced by the violas, then the second violins and finally the first violins. This very expressive theme is accompanied by the pizzicatos of the cellos and the double bass. A harmonic quotation will be given in the middle of the movement before the recapitulation of the main theme. The final movement offers a new listening of the harmonic and melodic modes. They are developed in a lively atmosphere, which favours the dialogue between the musicians. A second harmonic theme will introduce large chords distributed to the orchestra. A variation of this second theme will allow the possibility to hear all the instruments playing pizzicatos. The work concludes in an energic and luminous climate.

      Commissioned by the Orchestre National de l'Ile de France, the Oratorio op.39 for a single woman has been written during autumn 2011.
      With a duration of 24mn, the work is written according to a libretto of Emmanuel Bourdieu. Six importants years describe the life of the philosopher Simone Weil.
      The first year is 1923, Simone is 14 years old and is a depressive teenager. She dreams about a human ideal. The work is introduced only by the text and is later supported by the music in a very melodic and expressive universe.
      1934 : Simone is grown-up and after her studies of philosophy she decides to work in a factory with the workers. She suffers in this unbearable atmosphere but «  wants to meet the true life and does the experiment of misfortune. » The music illustrates the rate of the work and the infernal noise in the factory by an haunting rhythm.
      In 1936 we meet Simone in Barcelona during the civil war. She is the witness of a barbaric scene where a young baker is killed. His father becomes mad. The orchestra translates the pain of the father by an orchestral color dominated by the brass and the percussions.
      1938 : Simone is in the abbey of Solesme for Easter day.She prays for the first time of her life, surrounded by the monks and the silent of the abbey. She recites a poem about love. The music develops itself along the poem in a soft and meditative atmosphere.
      In 1942 Simone Weil is in London. She is beside the resistants, enthusiastic defender of the freedom of people. Simone surrounds a soldier who dies in her arms.The orchestra plays a funeral ode, symbol of the death and the suffering of the human being.
      24 th of August 1943 : Simone is in England and is dying. She doesn't want to die, she wants to be near the people who fights for freedom.But the death is there which will take her only 34 years old, during her full youth. The orchestra accompanies the narrator, the viola and the oboe symbolizes the suffer of Simone face to face to the death which she refuses.
      The work concludes in a very expressive orchestral atmosphere. Simone is not there anymore but her work remains.

      The work was composed in Spring 2009. It is connected with the French orchestral tradition. The nature and paintings by Nicolas de Staël were the main sources of inspiration of the composer.
      Cheerful chords strikes in the 1st and 4th Nocturne, the singing of the horn in the 2nd Nocturne, rustling wind in the 3rd and birdsong in the 4th. These are the main characteristics of the work which aims to be poetic, accompanied by a serene and energetic writing. The first Nocturne begins with ample arrangements entrusted to the stings, surrounded by short melodic fragments spread to the winds. The trumpet, followed by tissue harmonics given by the whole orchestra, gives a 2nd thematic element. A more rhythmic 2nd part is given to the winds and brass, supported by pizzicato strings. The final section presents the re- arrangements of the beginning and the 1st movement ends in a calm and serene atmosphere.
      The second Nocturne suggests a melodic theme introduced by the horn. It will be developed by the winds and the trumpet and is then taken by the bass while the brass and winds play in a deep range. Part 2 develops a topic surrounded by short chords distributed to the orchestra. At the coda we will find the theme given to the trumpet and the horn, surrounded by the strings. The 3rd Nocturne is constructed on a double canon of the strings. After the exposure there is an instrumental change. The coda of the 3rd movement offers a harmonization of the canon theme.
      In the beginning of the 4th Nocturne the atmosphere is harmonic. A new ground characteristically sign is given by the flutes. Alternating between harmonic passages and plaintive motif will be presented throughout this 4th movement by various instruments. It ends on cheerful chords in a sustained and light shade.

      The second Symphony op33 « Exil » has been written in 2006-2007 and is inspired by fragments from the poem of Saint John Perse.
      Three movements compose the works which duration is 18mn.
      The first movement is composed of three parts. It is slow and very expressive and is composed by two themes, which are given in the first part. The first theme is melancholy and sad, it relies on large chords and is given from the beginning of the movement by the cellos then the horns. The second theme, which symbolized the exile, is given by the alto flute, and then to the first oboe supported by the horn. Developed in the second part, only the first theme will be re exposed in the third and last part given by all the orchestra.
      The second movement is composed of three parts and relies on two themes very different: the first theme is harmonic and vigorous and is given by the woods while the second theme is melodic and is developed with successive entries given by the chords. We can observe a recall of the first movement at the end of the second part.
      Developed also with three sections the last movement is composed of a first part, which takes back the chords of the first movement with a harmonic modification. This one gives to the chords a colour more calm and serene. The second part develops on a piano resonance a theme, which recalls the second movement. The theme of the third part is relied on to the first violin and relies on major chords issued from the first theme.
      The symphony concludes itself in a very serene climate.

      Written in May 2005, the Symphony for Strings is the orchestration of the String Quartet op 26.
      It is a commission of Radio France and was created at the Festival Présences in February 2006 by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
      More than one simple transcription from 4 to 26 instrumentalists, the work gives rise to a new musical relief. Indeed, while remaining faithful to the writing of the Quartet, the orchestration emphasizes new instrumental exchanges and proposes a different distribution of themes. In that, the shape of work is new.
      The Symphony is composed of five movements, each with duration of approximately 2mn and a particular writing and musical atmosphere. However the unity of the work was deeply reflected, one can thus appreciate the connections between the Ist and Vth movements, and the IInd and IVth movements. The IIIrd movement, central point of the work, answers as for him a radically different writing.

      This piece was composed during the first 6 months of 1986 and lasts around 6 mn 15. Its title refers to the book of the same title from the German writer Ernst Jünger.
      Mantrana is a domino game of 2 and 3 dimensions played with maxims, which are called « stones ».These short maxims express an experience or an opinion and arouse a reaction.
      The work for orchestra refers to the following maxim : « Darkness should portend the uncommunicable and not the inability to communicate. »
      It is composed of 3 linked parts and first develops with fixed pitches, a progressive density of the writing with multiple couterpoints.
      In the 2nd part, the color of the the orchestral sound is priviliged.
      The last sequence begins with a writing again dense, and exposes a progressive elision until the end of the piece.
