Work introduction
This score was originally part of a larger work entitled Travel(s) diaries. It comprises a long section before the one entitled here " Travel(s) diaries - short version”
In order to enable it to be performed in a format more suited to the concert form, I have drastically reduced its duration by proposing only the second part.
However, in order to (re)find a musical and formal balance, I have to precede this second part with a relatively short piece entitled “Fanfare to precede the Travel(s) diaries - short version ” which partially reproduces elements of the first part, which are also quoted in this score.
This Fanfare can also be played on its own up to bar 106.
Some indications of places and events appear in this score. They are left over from the original score, and although they make no particular sense in this context, I decided to keep them, so as not to detract from the main argument: a man at the dawn of his life recalls his entire life in music, leafing through his travel diaries.
