" 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 |

I strongly encourage the thorough study of the work of Jean-Baptiste ARBAN, among which his famous Twelve Celebrated Fantasies and Air Varies. These 12 tunes, among which this piece, include all difficulties faced by a trumpet player to control his instrument. I had, together with Mireille CAPET MERAUD, lot of fun doing the recording of these Airs Varies, and I wish you a lot of joy and fun to re-discover them in this brand new version... - Franck PULCINI |

" 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.

" 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 |

" 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 |

" During the short ternary intro, the two themes are depicted and then immediatly developped in binary with a mix of Jazz and Jazz Rock styles. The "Twinning" is exploited to make the most of it: in the title, the metric, the major tone and its relative minor, the themes, the chords, the characters attribute and the repeated notes in the melody. Listen to it ! " - Alain LOPEZ |

" 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 |

" As its title suggests, this "tournerie", the second of the series, must be interpreted with emphasis on the regularity of tempo as well as with a vigorous pulse. Trombonists should play without adding jazzy nor lyrical effects. Priority given to "groove", a bit like in Piazzolla's tangos. " - Denis LELOUP |
