Description:
A Paris & Tango Erotique' - The two 'Etudes Amicales', or 'Friendly Studies', were written for two pairs of friends and are spontaneous gestures of appreciation for their musicianship and friendship. 'A Paris' was composed in 1991 as a musical thank-you for a happy day in Paris with the dedicatees, guitarist Erik Marchelie and his friend and colleague, the cellist Lucille Fauquet. In the style of a Parisian cafe-valse, it uses the first three notes of my Concerto Francais for guitar, cello and orchestra, a rehearsal of which had been the reason for my visit to Paris the previous day. Having performed 'A Paris' several times, another pair of friends, guitarist Paul Gregory and cellist Rachel Firmager, suggested that the friendly study itself should have a friend in the form of a companion piece, so in 2003, inspired by their intensely romantic performance style, I composed the Argentinian-sounding 'Tango Erotique.
