In this new interview, Bernard Fournier presents Charles Koechlin to us, the progressive composer who made a mark on his time, as much by his music as by the ideas which he stands for.

For Parade, he analyses his Quatuor à cordes n°2, op.157, an unknown work of great scale, but also experimental, in the sense that it acts as evidence of the research of Charles Koechlin on the concepts of rhythm and sound, which Gabriel Fauré rightly said: “It will take an audience that is not in a hurry to hear the music”.
