for oboe band
Written in the winter of 1999-2000, these three short pieces are a commissioned work for the Conservatory of Lille and are dedicated to oboist Réginald Lafont, their true initiator. Organized in a moderate/ slow/ lively sequence, these three ‘‘inventions’’ have no thematic relationship with one another, a unique feature in the works of their author.
