Album Notes

The prologue

Bystander: is it possible that every time you are at the piano you improvise?
Can’t you play anything from a score as everybody else does?

Ape: It’s not my fault! It’s my hands. They move alone.
I decide to do something, and they do something else: they don’t care!

Man: It’s not true! Don’t pay attention to her. It’s her, the monkey, who does what she wants, and it’s rude, too. It tried to make her think about it, but nothing, each word I said was vain.
Each time we play she pushes me down from the chair and wants to lead the game!

Bystander: well, you’d better come to an agreement, before it ends badly.

This album was meant to put an end to this conflict between the two primates.
Both compositions and improvisations have been given space: tracks 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11 and 13 are compositions, the others are improvisations.
On the cover, who’s the author between the two?
