Recording of Christian Clozier's Lettre à une demoiselle. This piece uses music written on a newspaper, a sheet, in an attic, in view of an open window on an impassive river, at a flowery table, around two o'clock in the morning, in a low voice, in memory of the companions of the Pleiad. There are three movements: draft, erasures, and post Scriptum. This work also uses sound samples and recorded sound to allow for the poem to reach full expression and character.
