Autumn colours is the first work from the solo collection. The first part describes the whimsical and unpredictable nature of autumn and the ever-changing colours. During the second fast part we can see the wind, dancing with the leaves that slowly fall from the trees... The inspiration for the last piece is a ray of light, broken by two beautifully coloured autumn leaves, glowing in the evening sun...

The thematic material for the first part arised and was refined during the lessons improvisation techniques at the ‘Royal Conservatory of Antwerp’ (‘K. Conservatorium van Antwerpen’). I wish to thank Paul Dinneweth for his inspiration feedback.
