The first time I heard these miniatures with their incredible harmonic richness, I was stunned: they are like an experimental workshop: surprise, freshness, exploration, playfulness, conciseness, inspiration giving us food for thought. They sparkle like precious stones, they open our ears and from there our heart and soul, and all this in 1 or 2 pages!

La première fois que j’ai entendu ces miniatures aux incroyables richesses harmoniques, j’ai été sidéré: elles sont comme un atelier d’expérimentation: surprise, fraîcheur, exploration, jeu, concision, inspiration nous donnant matière à réflexion. Elles scintillent comme des pierres précieuses, elles nous ouvrent les oreilles et de là le cœur et l’âme, et tout cela en 1 ou 2 pages!
