Tableaux féeriques op. 40

A work that is both richly lyrical and quite dynamic, taking its inspiration from the universe of fairytales. Featuring very fine instrumental virtuosity and virtuosic 'chamber' writing, neither is there any lack of passages of great simplicity and sweetness.

Created at the 6 edition of "Envolées musicales" festival by "Quatuor Sylphides" on April 1st, 2009, at Temple Saint-Marcel in Paris (France).

Performers feel free to refine nuances, articulations, tempi and playing modes such "pizz" or "breath tones".

Flute 1 includes passages for piccolo in the 2nd and 4th mouvements.
