KAMALALAM II for piano four hands is entitled one of the most celebrated books by the magnificent Belgian writer Marcel Moreau (16 April 1933, Boussu in Belgium) to whom the work is dedicated, together with Pilar Valero and Yves Robbe, the performers who premiered it in Boussu (Belgium). The work is structured in three movements entitled: Coric, Boires and Pokus.

CORIC: is the word Circus in reverse, varied. The music has rhythms of Ragtime and polka as well as music that could be from a very "sui generis" circus. The Circus alluded to could be a real circus (influenced by Satie, a composer I have conducted a lot and have arranged Sports et Divertessiments and Parade, one of my works is called Satieniana etc.). On the other hand, in the town where I work there is the Festival de Pallasos and there is a lot of circus movement that I see every season on my way to and from work) but it also alludes to the human circus, to this unhinged society in which everything is a kind of circus, a real display of media monsters.

BOIRES: In Catalan boires means fog. It is a rare work. The left hand evokes nineteenth-century (romantic) music while the right hand performs themes alien to this discourse in a somewhat "absurd" way. Why Boires? Well, because the mists, the boires, allude to a reality of deceptive visibility. The fog does not allow us to see reality. I have imagined the reality that cannot be seen to be inhabited by spirits. In fact, I thought of a séance held in the 19th century (left hand ..... the romanticism that evokes the era and the right hand with its speech that at some point seems like a slow dance, as if they were harmonious ghosts dancing elegantly in the air). I know it's strange, but I was thinking of this... I don't know if I have achieved my purpose.

POKUS: Slovak for experiment (I studied the work of JN Hummel in Bratislava on a scholarship from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The work is a continuous rhythmic pulsing, very agile, with repeated notes and a lot of symmetry. In a way it is a tribute to Biedermeier piano virtuosity.
