Le Silence de Cristal (meditation in passacaglia form)

This short piece for piano four hands originates from the idea to compose a piece in which silence, space and a meditative character predominate. It is dedicated to Sandra Rody and Daphné Widmer Fragnière. “Le Silence de Cristal” is a passacaglia on a single theme that develops in the form of a succession of variations, and leads, following a climatic intensity of sound, to a progressive rarefaction of its musical fabric.

The piece finishes on ascending chords with strong mystical resonances.
