Eclipse

Hugues Leclère calls me.
We meet.
We talk Debussy.
His Études, for piano.
Études. Explorer. Unveil.
Listen to the colors, the climates, the kaleidoscopic faces of these jewels for this instrument.
The piano.
Echoing the eras in which invention creates new listening territories.
Invention is ageless.
Its sun, its light, plays on the whims of the moon and the sun.
Thus these Eclipses, inspired by the lights revealed.
Fertile territories of Claude Debussy’s Étude 5, for octaves.
