Oboe and Piano. Par LOPEZ ALAIN. 'Cette composition, créée pour les jeunes musiciens (principalement adolescents), devra être jouée comme une chanson pop. En effet, sa texture (soyeuse et policée) est liée à l'utilisation des triolets et à l'enchaînement harmonique construit sur le principe des 'couplets /refrain'. Son tempo (proche de celui des battements du corps humain) et sa durée (3 mns) en feront le tube de l'été ! ' - Alain LOPEZ Une Pièce originale adaptée pour une audition ou un examen de fin de Cycle I/ Répertoire / Hautbois et Piano
