Miroirs is a piece based on reflection and symmetry, not so much from a concrete point of view than from a spiritual, mental one. Each musical phrase, each motive finds an expressive counterpart in a more intimist dimension. A series of eight notes provides the elemental material of the piece's nine developments.
