" Cuban music with a A-B-A' structure. Every sentence begins with 3 half notes followed by reversed intervals (eighth notes) and ends with a rhythmic tie. It is possible to learn this piece by heart to be closer to the oral tradition. The sentences are not difficult to learn and MP3 support will be a significant support for this. " - 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 |

" Trois Soeurs describes a portrait of three young sisters, each with its own character. The eldest is sulky, the second is joyful and the youngest is playful. These characters are transmitted musically in different ways. The sulkiness of the eldest is characterized by languishing third, the joy of the second by a waltz in C major and the playful character of the latter by a faster movement. This version is the piano reduction of the original piece composed for orchestra and alto saxophone. " - Arnaud MEIER |

" Ordered by Michel Supéra for the European ClariSax 2013 contest, this piece, with a melancholic melody is built in four part (slow/cadence/moderate/slow). This educational piece is ideal to be studied in class but also performed in public. " - 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 |

" 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 |

" 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 |

" 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 |

" I had fun to mix three musical styles remotely related. My idea was to take a classical musical phrase then to reharmonize it to give it jazz or pop colors. Here is for the 'short story'. " - 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 |

" 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 |
