Program notes

The notes given by Vivier in the finished manuscript, with English translation below:

Comme le titre suggère, cette oeuvre est un retour vers un certain lieu de ma vie, certaines mélodies — Mélodies qui font en quelque sorte partie de mon passé — La mélancolie provient de mon goût pour les histoires du passé, mes propres histoires. Quelques mélodies sont inscrites dans le silence, dans la continuité du temps — Cette œuvre est un acte de désespoir en ce sens que le création est toujours une tentative de relier le passé et le futur. « Mélancolie et Espoir », pour recréer la continuité que la vie a interrompue.

As the title suggests, this piece is a comeback to a certain spot in my life, certain melodies — Melodies that are somehow part of my past — Melancholia derives from my tastes for past stories, my own stories. Few melodies embedded into silence, into the time continuum — This piece as an act of despair in so far as creation was always trying to link past and future. "Melancholia and Hope," to recreate the time continuum that human life has disrupted.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Longquote
