Description
"The initial idea of Amazonia consisted in imaging the Amazonian wood. I have been listening to various wood recordings and have tried to "transpose" the different noises. The work begins with few measures based on the "Cup Song". I saw it in a school playground some time ago, pupils were playing with a big dexterity the characteristic rhythm of the Cup song! The beginning of the piece was found!"
