The Sonata for Cello and Piano was composed in 1990 and first performed in Paris by Vincent Grandgeorge, to whom it was dedicated, accompanied by Jacques Castérède on the piano, on 30 November 1990, at a concert organized by the association Le Triptyque. Very slightly altered in 2006, this piece bears the stamp of the exacting, perfectionist, sometimes austere teaching I received from the composer Jacques Castérède. Robbed of all volition, the hand of the composer is accurately guided by the music alone, which is sketched in a way that goes beyond any systematic composing technique. For instance, the themes of the first movement refused either to be reproduced in their initial colours or to be completely transposed. As a result, their entire being is focused on what they are about to become, so that one leads into another in a constant process of metamorphosis. In the course of an ostinato, its various facets are highlighted in a way that enlivens and extends the melody lines of the two other movements, ther by obviating the need for variation or the intrusion of secondary themes.


Emmanuel Hieaux, composer

He graduated in both music and literature, studying the piano at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Musique in Paris and majoring in French and English literature at Nanterre University. From then on, the links between music and other forms of artistic expression have formed the basis of several of his works. His meeting with the pianist, Yvonne Lafarge, proved to be a decisive moment in his career, as did studying composition with Jacques Castérède, a teacher at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. Ever since childhood, Schumann and Ravel have ranked among Emmanuel Hieaux’s favorite composers. Later on, he found Berg and Bartók particularly inspiring. In 1990 and 1991, Emmanuel Hieaux was Laureate of the Fondation Laurent-Vibert based at Lourmarin Castle in Provence and became a member of the Association du Trityque in Paris. Emmanuel Hieaux has since been commissioned on many occasions by soloists or musical ensembles, for example l’Ensemble Rhapsodes, le Trio Pangea, le Quatuor Kocian, the violinist André Pons-Valdès and the pianists Ivan Klansky, Richard Damas and Bruno Belthoise. His compositions have been recorded and played in France and abroad (Canada, the Czech Republic, Chili, Portugal, etc.) and broadcast on France Musique, Radio Classique Québec, Prague Classic FM, as well as on Antena 2 in Lisbon.
