Description: The buoyant miniatures recorded here document the composer’s fascination with dance, including a flirtation with jazz and ragtime, although the apparent innocence of the music conceals a striking degree of metrical and rhythmic complexity, cast in a style that owes something to Debussy and Fauré – animated by the blithe spirit of Chabrier. Xavier Parés and Patricia Siffert (piano).
