Par ROSAZ JEAN-CHRISTOPHE. Inspiré d'une toile de Jérôme Mondésert : quelque part dans une vieille ville, une rue en escalier qui descend : ici le clavecin est l'instrument qui nous aide à plonger dans les méandres du passé, tel un bathyscaphe qui nous conduirait au plus profond de l'océan originel, allégorie de notre moi le plus intime, pour ramener à l'air libre le cristal d'un arpège scintillant au grand jour. / Niveau : Moyen à Avancé / Date parution : 2007-10-01/ Répertoire / Clavecin

Par ROSAZ JEAN-CHRISTOPHE. D'après un tableau de Jérôme Mondésert où l'on devine au loin le désert et sa lumière aveuglante, au premier plan un arbuste, est-ce le buisson ardent ? Le clavecin aux cordes pincées prête son grésillement aux insectes, aux plantes du désert, tout ce qui crépite sous le soleil de métal et rend toute chose, toute vie brûlante au toucher. / Niveau : Assez Difficile / Date parution : 2007-10-01/ Répertoire / Clavecin
