Japanese E-mail 1 - To : Dai Fujikura
First piece of a new cycle for piano dedicated to my friend (s) from Japan or those who are lovers of Japan.
These first virtuosic pages, dedicated to the composer Dai Fujikura, are echoes of enthousiast meetings with the musician on the occasion of the premiere of his opera "Solaris" in March 2015. They simply bear witness of the great esteem I have for that artist, although the aesthetic of this little piano piece does not necessarily fit in with that of the dedicated composer.
Therefore, nothing really "japansese" in this work ; just a lightning and positive energy which crosses thoughout the "black & white smile" of the piano.
The work will be premiered by the pianist Nao Momitani at the "Ateliers Courtois" on June 14, 2015.
