" A rythmic composition in which the cells "quaver / two semiquaver" and " two semiquaver / quaver " are like a leitmotiv until the end of the Piece. The numerous triplets are a wink of "Rhapsody in Blues" from George Gershwin. My goal was to facilitate the listening, the exchange and the mimicry betwenn the two associated players: no tandem ("Temps d'M") without that! " - Alain LOPEZ

" Composed during the nineteenth century, this piece is one of the "standards" of Trombone repertoire. It is also often played in national and international competitions. Felix Alexandre Guilmant managed here at the same time to reveal many musical aspects of Trombone and to offer a great freedom of interpretation to the player. Enjoy!  " - Olivier LACHURIE

" The title of this Piece is a pun on Cubans rhythms. The opposition between the tone and used homonymous tone, as well as the rhythmic formula chosen on theme "B" are a typical feature of South America music. Concerning the melody, it is a stylistics composition on quarter note triplets!  " - Alain LOPEZ

" The chassé-croisé of quarter notes and eight notes triplets together with Piano incite to dance and remind us of cabarets' ambiance of the 1920s. This piece, coupled with a faster one is an ideal combination to propose for end of first cycle exam. " - Alain LOPEZ

" a Jazz waltz (dedicated to my uncle who was so benevolent during my early stages!) that may remind Erik Satie's Gymnopédies or the famous "Bluesette" from Toots Thielemans " - Alain LOPEZ
