3 Danses

The 3 Danses (Dances) for tuba and piano, written in a contrasted style, supplement the recital repertory of the modern tubist. The first dance, Molto Tango, of form verse/refrain makes us travel in Argentina. The second, Passacaille à deux, is melancholic, like a reminiscence of happy moments of our childhood. The third, Gigue tronquée, is a systematic and ludic fight between the dance movement, and the disturbing elements of the development. It constitutes, as at the time of the baroque suites, a lively and dynamic end.
