| " 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 | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| A perfect Piece for exams or auditions - for students playing Euphonium or Saxhorn for 4 years onwards | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " 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 | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Intrigues and festivities in the Middle Ages! " - 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 | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " A piece for a concert or a contest, of intermediate level, mixing humor and virtuosity. " - Pascal PROUST | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " 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 | |||||||||

| ||||||||
| " Small suite in a classical style for a young instrumentalist solo " - Pascal PROUST | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " Freely inspired by the famous Raymond Queneau's book, I wanted to write a piece that could be played by low-pitched solo brass instrument. It can be played by a Tuba, an Euphonium or a Bb Saxhorn, a Tuba or a F Horn player. This version is for Tuba. The others are available as well. This piece can be played from an exam from 8 years of instrument practice. " - Arnaud MEIER | |||||||||
| |
| ||||||||
| " 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 | |||||||||
