Instrumental music, when it is music: a text. For example: Maurice Ravel expressed pianistically three prose poems from Gaspard de la nuit by Aloysius Bertrand. David Rosenmann-Taub does the reverse: he expresses Isaac Albéniz's composition in a poem. Two scores: one, thematic, which corresponds to Albéniz's Almería; another, rhythmical, of the poem Alm-ería, with the same text, although rhythmically different.

A self-dialog between our habitual prison and authentic freedom.
