Echoes of Memory

Piano Music Sleep

Ariane Rewound  evokes the idea of ​​revisiting one's past by drawing the thread of an emotion. Rather than leaving the labyrinth, this composition invites you to go back by pulling on the thread of your memories. First minimal, the very simple pattern develops passing from one hand to the other. Becoming more and more complex, the left Hand amplifies the emotions of the past.

The intensity of the dialogue between the two hands reaches its climax and thus releases the energy of past emotion. Then little by little we return to the increasingly refined pattern in order to find the calm and serenity of the present time.

Folk Fantasy No. 1 - Wild Mountain Thyme

The Mystic Way – A Journey Through the Dao

This piano solo is inspired by the profound wisdom of Daoism, capturing the essence of the ineffable and eternal. Originally written with lyrics drawn from ancient philosophy, the melody now speaks through the purity of the piano, conveying the depth of the Dao without the need for words.

Like a coin with only one side, true understanding transcends definitions. The Dao cannot be spoken, nor can it be named—yet it flows through all things, giving rise to existence and shaping the universe. This piece invites the listener into a space of contemplation, where the seen and unseen intertwine, where mystery deepens with every note, and where the path to understanding lies beyond mere perception.

Let this music be your gateway to serenity, an echo of the eternal harmony that connects all things.

Andante con moto – Klaviersonate Nr. 23 in F-Moll op. 57 "Appasionata" (Beethoven)

"Passacaille Tourbeuse (from Longeyroux)" from the Suite of Dances no.1, is a solo piano composition structured around a classical passacaglia form, characterized by an obstinate bass over which progressive variations unfold. The work is situated within a modern aesthetic, blending contrapuntal rigor with timbral exploration.

The writing emphasizes minimalist thematic material, centered on a repetitive bass motif that serves as the foundation for a series of variations developing complex harmonic textures and contrasting dynamics. The piece demands advanced piano technique, particularly in pedal control and dynamic management, to convey the depth and ambiguity of sonorities evoking a peatland landscape from Haute Corrèze.

"Passacaille Tourbeuse (du Longeyroux)", issue de la Suite de Danses no.1 est une composition pour piano solo structurée autour d’une forme passacaille classique, caractérisée par une basse obstinée sur laquelle se déploient des variations progressives. L’œuvre s’inscrit dans une esthétique moderne, mêlant rigueur contrapuntique et exploration timbrale.

L’écriture privilégie un matériau thématique minimaliste, articulé autour d’un motif répétitif en basse, qui sert de fondement à une série de variations développant des textures harmoniques complexes et des dynamiques contrastées. La pièce sollicite une technique pianistique avancée, notamment dans le contrôle de la pédale et la gestion des nuances pour rendre la profondeur et l’ambiguïté des sonorités évoquant un paysage tourbeux de la Haute Corrèze.
