Der dritte Satz bildet ein fröhliches, in Hochstimmung endendes Finale in einem ansprechenden Funk-Beat. Kurz gesagt, ist School’s Cool eine wunderbare Suite, ganz besonders für junge Musiker.Cette petite suite en trois mouvements est adaptée tous types de formations géométrie variable (partie de piano optionnelle). Le premier mouvement évoque la joie de vivre. Le deuxième mouvement est une sorte de pavane empreinte de nostalgie. Le troisième mouvement conclut l’œuvre sur un rythme funk entraînant.
