Par DAVID VINCENT. Rhizome : tige souterraine vivace émettant des racines et des tiges aériennes. Musique vivace, émanant d'une racine simple, pour s'étendre vers de multiples directions horizontales ou verticales. Partant du Mi b, note de référence du saxophone alto transpositeur et en hommage au concerto de Glazounov, le rhizome se multiplie tout d'abord vers les notes périphériques Mi et Ré pour enfin gagner tout le spectre du saxophone. Cette version pour saxophone alto et piano est une adaptation de la version originale pour saxophone alto et ensemble à cordes.
