"An October evening at the Châtelet. Unforgettable! An artist's dressing room... His hand in mine,
that wild, enigmatic presence. On stage, she flies, she takes flight. From her piano to
her rocking chair, she savors every moment, every breath, the silence of a room

she observes her audience, an audience won over in advance.

a new adventure, a new blank page to color, the exhilaration of feeling alive.
The musical notes draw a score where sighs dance, where silences dance.
