| " 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 | |||||||||

| " 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 | |||||||||

| " 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.

| " Original composition using the famous habanera rhythmic cell (dotted quarter/dotted quarter/quarter), without which there would not be any tango... " - Alain LOPEZ | |||||||||

| " As a fan of bossa-novas from Antonio Carlos Jobim (with complex and moving harmonies), I have created my samba jazz in order to motivate students to work on typical rhythms of this musical style " - 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 | |||||||||

| " 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 | |||||||||
| |

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

| " 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 | |||||||||

| " 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 | |||||||||
