Merveilleux nuages

Written for my violinist and improviser colleague, François Karth, this piece fully evokes the adventure that composing a piece of music is for me. Starting with the mood created by the piano introduction, the piece then develops almost impressionist atmospheres that I had not at all intended originally. As composer, I have neither the intention of knowingly borrowing already explored musical langage from the past nor of systematically rejecting such langage. In the case of ‘Merveilleux nuages’, however, I remain with the feeling that what I had to express should be written in this way, and I ended up developing a great affection for this piece, which I find expressive and full of emotion. The title is taken from the novel ‘Les merveilleux nuages’ by Françoise Sagan, which she in turn had borrowed from Charles Baudelaire.
