These 12 new organ pieces date from the beginning of 2021, following a new and very long organizational hiatus during which I returned to playing the piano. Chopin and Liszt reminded me how beautiful and expressive romantic music is!
It would never occur to me to deny my Variations, a composition written some forty years ago. But since then, my musical thinking has evolved a lot (some may even think that it has regressed!). To be convinced of this, it is enough to compare my new Toccata in E with my old Toccata in C# (composed in November 1979)! And I will not speak about my new Prelude in A…
Today, what best defines my music ? First of all, it is totally free of any external constraint and defends more than ever the art of beauty. Secondly, it reconnects with romanticism and wants to be moving. And how is it “contemporary”? I wrote it last year.
