Felt more than ever since Mady, to whom this piece is dedicated, was suddenly taken away from my corporeal eyes: the impatience of limits.

At first, it was meant to be a musical reflection on time. The one that moves forward, along which evolutions, proofs of passing time, are inscribed and the still one that stands the test of time. Now, memories have become the proofs of passing time, standing the test of time for he who suffers its attacks. And most of all, the presence of she to whom, in the garden of sleep, past, present and future are all the same state — and still she watches her children grow up.

[English translation: François Couture, ix-03]
