| " The purpose of this composition is to familiarize yourself with the unusual 5/4 metric, often associated to the famous jazz standard by Paul Desmond, Take Five. Rhythms and articulation are varied but without major difficulty. This piece is dedicated to the saxophonist "Michel Itier". " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||

| ||||||||
| " As the light whose reflection in the water is sometimes broken by the waves, I used ascending and descending movement in the melody. The pervasive use of syncopation also enabled me to exacerbate the impact felt by the ebb and flow. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||

| ||||||||
| " A musical evasion with a legendary captain... " - Pascal PROUST | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Original composition using the famous habanera rhythmic cell (dotted quarter/dotted quarter/quarter), without which there would not be any tango... " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| We play this music with images of a fun little movie in our head... For a hearing or an exam from 6 years of practice. | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " As the title suggests, this piece focuses primarily on the octave leaps and chromatism. The arpeggio sequences serve as a leitmotif throughout the piece. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Here is the drawing of a theme built as an arch on the pillars of the piano left hand, declined in three rhythmic forms (linear, swing and with cadence) to address flexibly some technical issues to be acquired over the 4 first years of practice... " - Pascal SAINT-LEGER | |||||||||

| " Orange was the popular color of tango dancers at tango's height during the twenties. The melody is as bright as the color, pleasant and is not bereft of ardour. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Bright and colorful composition, with melodic lines based on a set of syncopes and provided with a cadence. It is intended for interpreters with technical and musical levels already confirmed. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| A composition with a nice melody, from 6 years of instrument practice | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " The artistic skills and sensitivity of the musician are highlighted here, in order to recreate, thanks to varied metronomic movements, rhythms and nuances, ten atmospheres described throughout the Piece. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " 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 | |||||||||

| |
| ||||||||
| " Melodic composition targeted to "young" students where rhythms of half note, quarter note, eighth note, on beat, are exclusively used. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " A rhythmically simple composition that I wanted to be very melodic to encourage students to become familiar with repeated notes. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " This bluesy ballad proposes an easy approach of doted quaver followed by semiquaver and helps going one step further since this solemn rhythm is always followed by 2 quavers! " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Blues with simple rhythmic cells and small ascending and descending chromatic movements. This piece will allow you to familiarize yourself with 'swing', supported by the piano accompaniment, imitating the horse's trot. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Latin music divided into three parts of 32 mes. each: the first is for students with 1-2 years of experience (only long values and small chromatisms are used), the second is for those who have 2 or 3 (add dotted quarter / eighth notes and intervals of fourths), the third is for those at the end of the first cycle (flow from eighth in addition). This piece can "follow" the students for three years and / or allow 3 students with different levels to play together. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " How to make a good music recipe with few ingredients? Take some quavers, long values and swing the harmonies... " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " The wind carries away the yellow leaves fallen on the pavement, the cafes put tables and chairs in... I evoke here a fall tour that is difficult to do quietly in Paris. How to take your time in this city with so many streets to cross (musical phrases of 3 measures), cars or buses to avoid (musical phrases starts on the second time). While the chestnut vendors are on subway entrances, how not to hurry like others (theme B) to 'catch' the subway... " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |

| " This composition was created for young musicians (mostly teenagers), and will be played as a pop song. Indeed, its texture (silky and polished) is related to the use of triplets and harmonic series built on the principle of 'verse / chorus'. Its tempo (close to the human body beat) and duration (3 minutes) will make it the hit of the summer! " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " AABA form of Latin music which gives meaning to the work of opposed nuances. On the pedagogical side, some unusual rhythms at this level are proposed. " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " For those who are nostalgic of village dance. Delicate piece to work on intervals. " - Jean-Michel MAURY | |||||||||
