Introduction

Marcel Proust mentions that for Baudelaire, time “disintegrates in a strange way”. He mentions the frequent phrase “when one evening ...”, which in Baudelaire's case introduces rare remarks of remembrance, prehistory and correspondences that fall out of time. It is these “correspondences” that I seek to capture in my composition, in order to resist them at the same time.

The piece was selected at the competition of the US-American composers' association VoxNovus and their project “FACE THE MUSIC”, which presents 15 compositions of one minute length each.
