The title may be read as an indication of the key and genre, on the one hand, but also as an allusion to a slightly depressive mood, on the other hand. Mozart's Piano Sonata in A minor which may have been created in the Parisian street mentioned in the subtitle virtually serves as background for this little, yet somewhat tricky piano piece. There are no direct quotations, but the dissonant chord from bar 2 of the sonata in A minor hovers in the background. Mosaic-like, slightly dabbed sound elements are regularly interrupted by brief, strong beats. Ambitious performers who want to explore new playing techniques will enjoy this piece as much as the audience.

Hails tork’s title, L’Blatinx, is a mixture of the terms Black and Latinx, and a key to the flavor of this unique work, full of blues, salsa, spicy dissonance, and a mixture of steady grooves with surprises. The work is scored for a trio of C Trumpets, along with footstomping inspired by Black traditions from New Orleans, has a Mariachi feel, and uses Latin rhythms. L’Blatinx is a 4-minute thriller equally appropriate for formal concerts and special occasions; extra percussion is welcome when available. .
