| |
| ||||||||
| " 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 | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " 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.

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 | |||||||||
