Leroux: Impressions d'enfance

Description

1. L'eau a ruisselé
2. Ah non !
3. Ecoute le chat
4. Du tumulte de mes émotions
5. Secrets

These five pieces evoke (in chronological order):

• a seemingly never-ending canon that only stops as it reaches the lower register, like a water fountain with water cascading from top to bottom basin;
• a stubborn, angry child, chuckling as he decides not to wear a certain piece of clothing he loathes;
• a cat softly walking across the piano keyboard and suddenly leaping onto the child's shoulder;
• the whirlwind of emotions that overwhelm the mind but does not prevent it from hearing the throbbing of the loved one's heart;
• finally, a few secrets hidden under sounds and pitches, gradually being unveiled as, one by one, fingers leave the keyboard.
