Jeux d’eau
A program centered in the element of water.
Each selected work explores water in its many forms: sparkling jets, luminous streams, mirrored figures, shadowed waves. Some pieces capture the continuous and elusive mobility of water, while others explore its symbolic meaning as a source of purification and spiritual elevation.

Pour le piano
Transcriptions and original works
The program is divided into two complementary parts. The first features the piano as a transformative voice in works originally conceived for other instruments: Brahms’s Variations in D minor, Op. 18 and Bach’s monumental Chaconne in Busoni’s transcription. The second part is entirely devoted to the original piano repertoire. In the Pavane pour une infante défunte, Jeux d’eau, and Une barque sur l’océan, Ravel explores sound worlds that would later inspire orchestral versions of these works. The program concludes with Debussy’s Pour le piano, whose title explicitly affirms the instrument’s role as the poetic and timbral protagonist of the entire program.
