Programme note
"Sometimes, at nights, an hour occurs, when the plain seems about to tell you something. But it never does, though perhaps it repeats this continuously, but we never understand it; maybe we do, but it is untranslatable like music…"

L’abstraction est sans doute plutôt la fin que le début de la musique (François-Bernard Mâche)
