La Fugue: Air d'enfant

A candid and melancholic miniature for piano, from the musical comedy La Fugue by Bulgarian pianist and composer Alexis Weissenberg. Its simplicity leads directly into the remote regions of memory and dream.

In 2008, invited by Martha Argerich, Alessandro Stella played this piece in Lugano as part of the Martha Argerich Project — in the presence of Weissenberg himself.
