The blog, as a site of exchange on a given subject, is like my music made of a mosaic of fragments which are as many points of view contributing to give an overall image, provided you take a step back necessary.
Blog is one of the small works written for learning an instrument.
Unlike the “ pédagogiques ” works, I wanted to offer apprentice musicians real works in the formal sense of the term. It's my music, but simplified in order to be more easily playable : the writing does not yield to the banalities of use as soon as one writes for students. A great requirement is required here and the instrumentalists will have to take care to play very precisely what is noted on the score, in the smallest detail, without adding anything, with vivacity and sensitivity.
This apprenticeship piece is to my other works what Ready-to-Wear is to Haute Couture.
