Par VAZART CLAIRE. La création de la sonate Ostinato au Xème Festival Piano de Sainte Marie d'en Bas est la poursuite d'une collaboration fructueuse entre la pianiste Sandra Chamoux et la compositrice Claire Vazart, toutes deux d'origine grenobloise. En 2003, Sandra Chamoux a proposé à Claire Vazartde lui écrire une courte pièce pour piano solo qu'elle jouerait en bis dans le cadre de ce même festival. Depuis lors, leur collaboration n'a plus cessé. Claire Vazart a trouvé en Sandra Chamoux une interprète d'une grande ouverture, toujours prête à se passionner, à se ' reformater ' pour cette écriture originale à la croisée du tango, du jazz et de la musique contemporaine. L'idée inspiratrice de quatre rythmes autour desquels se construisent chacun des quatre mouvements a donné son titre à cette pièce qui lui est dédiée. / Niveau : Assez Difficile / Contemporain / Date parution : 2006-06-01/ Répertoire / Piano
