Arabesque Piano, 2018, [8’00]
This piece was written as a tribute to French composer Claude Debussy. For this reason, it uses impressionist colors and harmonies. It was premiered by British pianist Maria Marchant in October 2020 as part of her 7 notes in 7 days at 7 pm project.
Please find a recording here.

Valse en Si mineur Piano, 2017, [3’40]
This piece kind of represents the process of music rewriting. It is based on a theme from a waltz I wrote in 2011. In 2017, I came across this waltz again, and I immediately thought that something much better could be done with this melody, so I decided to rewrite the piece, adding new ideas and removing others.
This waltz was premiered by Anna Sutyagina in July 2021.

Seconde Schubercherie Piano, 2014, [1’40]
"Seconde Schubercherie" was written as a small tribute to Schubert, since I was inspired by one of his piece. Hence the title "Schubercherie" which is a pun between the words "Schubert" and "Supercherie", a French word that could be translated by "fraud" or "trickery".
