Prelude in G major, BWV 884

Oves has the character of an overture, like the mad rush of an unstoppable train. But there is nothing catastrophic about it: a generous piece, it has a smile, sunny, like the music of Bach. Around the second interval and the rhythmic ostinato borrowed from the prelude in G major BWV 884, the fabric of the piece develops, enlarges, transforms itself. As with all the pieces on this CD, I first immersed myself in the original work – a sensitive absorbtion both intellectual and physical – to then knit something from a detail, as if developing a line in a drawing. The shaping of a piece is for me a long work of maturation in order to summon the memory of the gesture while alternating, without any detectable boundaries, written and improvised parts.
