Work for learning. End of cycle level I

Commissioned by the conservatory of Saint Michel sur Orge as part of the composer residency 2014/2015

Duration: ca 2'30 - Editions François Dhalmann

The objective of this short work is to provide young students with writing " sur mesure " to lead them to ask questions about what the basics of composition.

The title is an allusion to the titles of exercises by Kandinsky or Klee.

​

Written with a minimum of basic elements, this work answers the question : what to do with the few elements that are,  sound impacts (points) and held (lines) in constantly renewed poetic space ?

​

As always in my didactic works, the music goes beyond the subject. This poetic miniature is in no way educational music : it is my real writing, but " simplifiée " in order to put it within reach of students.

It is a true concert work. We find there what makes the characteristic of my writing : fragments with well differentiated characters, constant energy, various modes of play, form in " spirale_cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_” (each pattern is constantly recurring but varied).
