Notes sur cette pièce

Einstein’s Dreams is based on Alan Lightman’s novel of the same name. This fictional narrative consists of a multitude of short episodes that describe Albert Einstein’s dreams about various conceptions of time. The piece is divided into three movements, each corresponding to a chapter of the novel. The first movement, Prologue, depicts Einstein in his waking state as he strolls into his job at a patent office in the early hours of the morning. The tubular bells at the opening of the piece reflect the clock tower which calls out six times. The wind chimes and the air sounds played by the flute capture the ambient sounds emerging from the city. The texture becomes increasingly dense with the break of dawn, as light slowly creeps into the room and brings objects into focus. The prologue concludes with Einstein humming from Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
