Following an intense and prolific era in Paris where I was fortunate to meet composers such as André Jolivet, Henri Dutilleux and especially my teacher Olivier Messiaen (What a glorious experience working with great composers from our neighboring country!), at the beginning of the 1970’s I conceived these two concise works as a single unit. 

These brief pieces reflect my fascination with coloristic timbres and rhythmic variety and they are full of dynamics and a true «divertimento» conception. The work was premiered in 1972 in Barcelona along with the pianist Rose Marie Cabestany who played it with me as an encore following a two piano concert. The highest and most delightful praise came from my esteemed colleague and beloved friend, Xavier Montsalvatge, who exclaimed: «...I don’t know those delicious pieces that you both played. . .are they by Poulenc? ». 

I do not want to close without thanking Editorial Boileau for publishing this work written more than 25 years ago and for their kindness, daring and support for creativity from all eras.
