Programme Note

The music, like Proust's text, a study in the way memory works - not all at once but in fragments; springing into action quite unexpectedly, triggered by some unlikely association; often retracing time in the wrong order; unable to forget certain moments which standout very clearly; never remembering absolutely everything.
