Instrumentation
For Solo Piano

Commissioned By
Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, Switzerland

Duration
7 min

About
A very personal work which challenged the 25 exceptional pianists from around the world to convey that we do not have to lose our inner-child.

Programme Note
In this dreamlike journey, a child is lost at sea in a vast and enchanted ocean. On the horizon, we gradually hear the tolling bells of the adult world, the resounding bells of time, and the chiming bells of suffering. Despite all these elemental forces, the innocence of the world of the child, being innately more powerful and assured, will emerge once again in our hearts and win the day, forever and ever. Dedicated to Maurice Ravel.

Note de Programme 
Dans ce voyage onirique, un enfant part à la dérive sur un océan vaste et envoûtant. À l'horizon, les coups de cloches du monde des adultes se font entendre, puis les cloches du temps, et finalement les cloches de la souffrance. Malgré toutes ses forces naturelles, l’innocence incommensurablement plus puissante du monde de l’enfant, avec sa confiance innée, spontanée et intuitive, finit par réémerger et l’emporter à la fin de la pièce pour rester dans nos cœurs, pour toujours et à jamais. Dédié à Maurice Ravel.
