This cycle of 8 pieces for solo flute Hommage… is written as a tribute to great composers of the XXth century (Schönberg, Cage, Messiaen, Aperghis, Stockhaüsen, Kurtag, Berio). Only one piece is not a tribute to one of these composers.

Each piece, from 1 to 3 minutes in length, takes up the compositional characteristics of each composer, while offering an original piece for the flute.

This allows the flutist to become familiar with each style in a relatively short piece. They can all be played on the flute in C. However, Récit(alto flute), The world is… (bass flute) and Larmes(piccolo) may be preferred to the instruments mentioned.

They can therefore be interpreted either separately or in combination. The entire cycle, with a total duration of approximately 16′, can be offered in a concert program.
