      <p class=\"translation-block\">In October 2018, I had the opportunity to accompany the Wind Band <em>La Landwehr de Fribourg<\/em> as an instrumentalist during a concert tour in India. Travel between the different cities was punctuated by the horns of the different vehicles on the road, which competed in creativity. Our bus was no exception to this rule, and I ended up letting myself be inspired by this five-note pattern which, through repetition, ended up anchoring itself deeply in my brain, until it served as a musical basis for this work.<\/p>\n                    <p class=\"translation-block\"><em>Dystopia<\/em> exploits the notion of duality: in two parts (<em>I. Prelude<\/em> and <em>II. Toccata<\/em>), the work uses the double wind quintet sometimes as a single entity, sometimes as two or three groups in constant rhythmic, harmonic or writing conflict. Like in a <em>dystopia<\/em>, where the hero constantly struggles against an oppressive society, the thematic group linked to motif A (that of the car horns, exposed at the beginning of the <em>Prelude<\/em>) confronts that linked to motif B (exposed at bar 25) throughout the piece. Similarly, the free form of the <em>Prelude<\/em> contrasts with the more defined structure of the <em>Toccata<\/em> where the atmospheres linked to the two thematic groups alternate. Two short episodes highlight a third motif, more <em>arioso<\/em>, serving as <em>divertissement<\/em> and rhythmic appeasement within the <em>Toccata<\/em>.<\/p>\n                    <p>The composition was commissioned by the Swiss conductor Felix Hauswirth, on the occasion of the aVENTura festival in Lucerne in September 2023 dedicated to Swiss composers.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div data-colibri-id=\"28035-c25\" class=\"h-row-container gutters-row-lg-2 gutters-row-md-2 gutters-row-0 gutters-row-v-lg-2 gutters-row-v-md-2 gutters-row-v-2 style-3734 style-local-28035-c25 position-relative\">\n        <!---->\n        <div class=\"h-row justify-content-lg-center justify-content-md-center justify-content-center align-items-lg-stretch align-items-md-stretch align-items-stretch gutters-col-lg-2 gutters-col-md-2 gutters-col-0 gutters-col-v-lg-2 gutters-col-v-md-2 gutters-col-v-2\">\n          <!---->\n          <div class=\"h-column h-column-container d-flex h-col-lg-auto h-col-md-auto h-col-auto style-3735-outer style-local-28035-c26-outer\">\n            <div data-colibri-id=\"28035-c26\" class=\"d-flex h-flex-basis h-column__inner h-px-lg-2 h-px-md-2 h-px-2 v-inner-lg-2 v-inner-md-2 v-inner-2 style-3735 style-local-28035-c26 position-relative\">\n              <!---->\n              <!---->\n              <div class=\"w-100 h-y-container h-column__content h-column__v-align flex-basis-100 align-self-lg-start align-self-md-start align-self-start\">\n                <!---->\n                <div data-colibri-component=\"video\" data-colibri-id=\"28035-c28\" class=\"d-block h-video d-block h-video style-3737 style-local-28035-c28 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                  <!---->\n                  <div class=\"video-container position-relative\">\n                    <div class=\"h-global-transition-all ratio-inner\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8suHh785gu0?autoplay=0&#038;mute=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;\" class='h-video-main'  allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pour double quintette \u00e0 vent Pr\u00e9lude et Toccata \u2022 Double quintette \u00e0 vent \u2022 2023 Difficult\u00e9 5 (difficile) \u2022 08:40 \u2022 FC Music Publishing Score Set complet Instrumentation :&nbsp;2Fl, 2Ob, 2Cl, 2Hn, 2Bsn En octobre 2018, j\u2019ai eu l\u2019occasion d\u2019accompagner l\u2019harmonie&nbsp;La Landwehr&nbsp;de Fribourg en tant qu\u2019instrumentiste lors d&rsquo;une tourn\u00e9e de concerts en Inde.
