Duo Alyosha
With Escapade Fictive, Duo Alyosha invites the audience on a journey through a series of vivid
musical landscapes, each offering a unique emotional and imaginative experience. This program
explores the delicate balance between reality and fiction, guiding listeners through dreamlike
colors, deep emotions, and poetic storytelling.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY

SONATA FOR CELLO AND PIANO IN D MINOR, L.135 (10’)
I. Prologue (Lent, sostenuto et molto risoluto)
II. Sérénade (Modérément animé)
III. Finale (Animé, léger et nerveux)
Debussy’s sonata is a world of shimmering colors and striking contrasts. From the mysterious,
noble opening to the playful and spirited finale, this work captures a sense of fantasy and fluidity,
setting the stage for an imaginative escape.
CLARA SCHUMANN

THREE ROMANCES (TRANSCRIPTION FOR CELLO AND PIANO) (8’45)
I. Andante molto (2’26)
II. Allegretto (2’34)
III. Leidenschaftlich schnell (3’45)
These lyrical and heartfelt pieces express longing, tenderness, and devotion. With Clara
Schumann’s music, the program touches on themes of love and recognition, evoking a sense of
warmth and sincerity.
GUILLAUME CONNESSON

LES CHANTS DE L’AGARTHA (12’11)
I. Sous le désert de Mongolie (4’29)
II. La bibliothèque des savoirs perdus (3’42)
III. Danse devant le roi du monde (4’)
Connesson’s work transports us into a mystical, fictional universe inspired by myths and legends.
This is the moment where the audience fully escapes reality, diving into an imaginary world
shaped by rhythmic intensity and evocative harmonies.
SERGEI RACHMANINOV

SONATA FOR CELLO AND PIANO IN G MINOR, OP. 19 (35’32)
I. Lento – Allegro Moderato (13’10)
II. Allegro scherzando (6’12)
III. Andante (6’11)
IV. Allegro mosso (10’)
Rachmaninov’s sonata brings us back to the raw fragility of the human condition. Written after a
period of deep depression, this work marked his rebirth as a composer. Through its sweeping
melodies, emotional depth, and triumphant finale, the sonata offers a journey of resilience and
renewal—inviting the audience to experience their own moment of rebirth.
Through this program, Duo Alyosha creates a narrative that oscillates between fantasy and reality.
Debussy opens the door to shimmering dreamlike colors, Clara Schumann offers a vision of love
and longing, and Connesson provides a passage into an imaginary world of myths. Finally,
Rachmaninov brings us back to the depths of human experience, closing this Escapade Fictive
with a message of transformation, hope, and renewal.
