Frédéric Chopin - Scherzo nr 1 op 20

Avec la Rousserolle effarvatte (enregistrée dans le Parc Marquenterre), pas question de garder son sérieux ! L’oiseau nous invite à la plaisanterie (en italien : plaisanterie = scherzo). Mais si scherzo signifie bonne humeur, le terme musical nous invite aussi à une composition presque rapide et légère.
Ici notre rousserolle se confronte à un tout petit instrument, une sorte de petit tambourin placé au bout d’un manche sur la peau duquel est fixée une cordelette. C’est en jouant sur cette cordelette que l’on fait sonner l’instrument de diverses manières, toutes en réponses aux bavardages excités de l’oiseau. L’oiseau ne chante que très rarement avec l’instrument : il semble plutôt lui répondre, chanter en alternance avec lui. Le timbre particulier aux rousserolles, alternant des sons lisses et flûtés à de petits bruit râpeux ou grattés semble vouloir s’accorder à ce petit instrument fantaisiste. 
La pièce est très brève car les meilleures plaisanteries sont toujours les plus courtes.

SCHERZO

A light-footed scherzo, lively and playful. Fast in tempo, reasonably spirited, and rhythmically moderately complex.

Starting March 20th 2025, the adventure of Caricatunes begins. Every day a new discovery, a playful little melody, or a quirky tune sent out into the world. The idea? At least one minute of music each day that brings a smile, takes an unexpected turn, or simply offers a joyful moment of chaos...

Amateur composer,arranger and singer songwriter.

I am an accomplished amateur pianist with a deep-rooted passion for music. My journey with the piano and music theory spanned a decade of dedicated study during my formative years. However, as I embarked on my university education, my musical pursuits took a back seat due to time constraints.

Fast forward three decades, in December 2019, I made a pivotal decision to reignite my passion for the piano. With unwavering commitment and the guidance of an exceptional piano teacher, I embarked on a remarkable musical journey. Through daily practice sessions lasting at least one hour, and the privilege of playing on my beloved Steinway grand piano, I continue to evolve as a non-professional pianist.

Exploring the vast and enchanting repertoire of piano music has become a source of joy and personal growth. I am excited to share this ongoing musical adventure with you, as I strive for excellence and celebrate the beautiful sound and intricate techniques that the piano has to offer.
