Avec Le Pensionnaire d'Endenich et Lutter avec le bleu du ciel, Jean-Philippe Guye présente deux textes de théâtre musical, autour de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Robert Schumann et de Claude Debussy. Chaque spectacle est composé de six lettres ou monologues imaginaires, qui s'intercalent entre des pièces de musique de chambre avec piano et si possible voix. Le choix des oeuvres, leur ordre, la succession des mouvements, leur répartition, dépendent des musiciens comme des propositions de la mise en scène. Si les instrumentistes prêtent leur image aux évocations du personnage, des incarnations muettes peuvent surgir de ses mots : le docteur Richarz, Brahms et Clara, Chouchou, Emma ou le fidèle Jacques Durand.On veillera surtout à l'équilibre des situations théâtrales et de la musique, à l'équivalence et à la justesse de leurs résonances. Textes complémentaires : Jean-Jacques CESBRON, Philippe ANDRE, Frank LANGLOIS / Livre

Originally scored for Lute Quartet it was quickly arranged for String Quartet by the composer as presented here. It was later transcribed for String Orchestra and has since become one of the composer’s most popular works. Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) was a Spanish classical composer.
