Jean-Pierre Leguay: Momenti

The pianist Sabine Sauer has a long-standing friendship with Jean-Pierre Leguay. In December 2014, he sent her the edition of the piano cycle Allume l’aube dans la source, published the same year. Fascinated by the way Leguay exploits the sound pos-sibilities of the piano, she began to take a close interest in his music. In 2015 and 2016, she had already included some pieces from the cycle in her concert programme. In 2017, she organised a portrait concert as part of the Musik am 13. series in Bad Cannstatt, during which Leguay himself improvised on the organ and where she gave the German premiere of further parts of Allume l’aube dans la source. In 2020, the year of the premiere of Envol, the idea matured to record all piano works com-posed by Leguay that had not yet been recorded. Inspired by their fruitful collaboration, Jean-Pierre Leguay composed the new piano piece Momenti in the summer of 2022, which is dedicated to her. All recordings of this edition took place in the library hall of the Ochsenhausen monastery in the presence of the composer.
