Work introduction
The New Year's concert. Everyone has heard the wonderful Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra play the no less extraordinary music of Johann Strauss?
This music dances and leaves a very special sensation of joy and profound lightness. I wanted to convey this impression here, by gradually building up a music whose initially irregular rhythmic structure is transformed into an ephemeral waltz, only to return to where it came from. Like a dream into which you enter and from which you emerge filled with serenity.
