Program note: La mémoire des sens is an invitation for the listener to experience in different ways the elements in time. Inspired by the Jeu- Parti, a popular type of troubadour poetry, the piano and the clarinet are engaged in a dialog of colors and play with the memory of the listener by altering and exchanging elements through this passionate discussion.
