About this Work

For the young candidates in Grade 1 of the 2010 International Piano Competition in Fribourg (Switzerland), I wanted to exploit the piano resonances by means of the pedal or with harmonics. The “litte secret” (Petit secret) is a simple folksong hidden within the voicings of the three-pitch chords at the beginning of the piece, then through the harmonics of the Allegro, and finally within the clusters at the end.
