about

The EP contains variations. They were recorded with a Rhodes-Piano. And the pieces were adapted to the instrument. The music, which was varied, comes from the 'L'art de toucher le clavecin' and the four livres of the 'Pièces de clavecin'.
It is an experiment: the variations include the keys and the scales, which were used. I give a contemporary interpretation, not a historical.
