    C’est à cette magnique énergie que l’on doit mettre dans la musicalité, à la virtuosité audacieuse, cette liesse éclaboussée de notes, à ce bonheur de jouer, à cette sensibilité, cette émotion voilée et pudique dans le rêve, cette douceur dans le calme, à l’innie palette sonore de la ûte, ce vertige… Voilà ce qui a présidé à l’écriture de “Rêve, Calme, Liesse”.
    
    Je sais que toutes ces qualités se déploient dans la personnalité de Pierre-Yves Artaud.
    Je lui offre “Rêve, Calme, Liesse” en hommage à ses vingt-cinq ans d’enseignement au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse du Paris.
