These little works are written for learning an instrument (end of cycle I to end of cycle II).

Unlike educational works, I wanted to offer apprentice musicians real works in the formal sense of the term. It's my music, but simplified in order to be playable more easily. Writing in no way yields to ease of use as soon as one writes for students. A great requirement is required here and the instrumentalists must take care to play with sensitivity and precision what is noted on the score.

​

E4E5 was written for one of my sons learning the piano and... passionate chess player. The musical writing in no way translates a part. These titles allow me to write during my conservatory residencies a Suite in the musical sense of the term. Certain motifs are common to the various pieces, even if each piece develops its own motifs and issues.

​

In a teaching setting, each work can of course be played alone, but, in the context of an audition, it is interesting to play them in full and in the correct order.

In chess , an open start is an opening in chess that begins with White's move 1.e4 followed by Black's symmetrical move 1...e5.

1.e4 is the most popular opening move. The second most popular move for White is 2.Nf3. Black's most common response is 2...Nc6. The most common alternatives to 2.Nf3 are 2.Nc3 (the Viennese side ).

​

What could be better than writing an open beginning for an opening to current music writing?
