Debussy's famous piano piece 'The little negro' is one of the first classical piano pieces that takes up stylistic elements from jazz music: the then very popular 'Cake Walk' was inspired by Parisian circus artists like the clown Georg Fotitt and his black assistant Chocolat. The popular piece was published in the 'Méthode élémentaire de Piano' by Théodore Lack (for two hands) in 1909.

Mes sombres et ténébreux de piano Intermezzi sont suivis par ces Zirkustänze [danses cirque]. Ils sont naturellement - à un niveau superficiel - plus simple, plus gai, plus lumineux et aussi plus criardes, énergique et espiègle que ma composition précédente, mais mon objectif dans ces danses impliquant les protagonistes d'un cirque est une vérité simple mais profonde et omniprésente: il est un réel danger constant que le funambule va tomber. Sur le sujet de notre étonnement enfantin comme un observateur: ce n'est pas notre étonnement ce qui est faux, mais le fait que nous, les adultes pensent que nous ne sommes plus autorisés à ressentir cette émotion! Et bien que les larmes du clown triste sont artificielles, elles sont néanmoins très réaliste.Le Zirkustänze sont conçus comme un cycle, mais les mouvements individuels peut également être effectuée séparément, par exemple en tant que morceaux de rappel. Ces danses sont dédiés à l'amitié de András Schiff. Jörg Widmann / Piano
