One
for piano op.9 (1991)
This piano piece was written in 1991 as the consequence of the discovery of minimalist music, particularly that of Steve Reich. It responded perfectly to my own wish of using a very few thematic material, as it was already the case in my Piano Sonata.
One is also the beginning of a set of works having as title the number of instrumentalists involved in it.
This piece uses mainly repetitive patterns in 7/8 time, but at some points, both hands are playing in different times, the left hand going on with the 7/8 pattern while the right hand plays a 9/8 pattern. There are three sections, the first and third in E minor, and the second in E major.
