Le piano d’Horowitz
Roxanne Turcotte
Programme notes
In memory of my great friend François Bélair
I am fascinated by the mechanics of the piano. The sound fingers clicking on the ivories, the hammers hammering the strings
— Roxanne Turcotte [English translation
Le piano d’Horowitz [Horowitz’s Piano] was realized in 2014 at the composer’s studio (Studio Séducson) in Montréal for a sound installation (small loudspeakers and light emitting diodes placed around a piano). Thanks to Roger Lacroix (ArtsVox).
