From the composer: When pianist Inon Barnatan asked me to write him a new work, he had a particular stipulation: that I somehow connect my piece with Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, which he would program alongside my new work. This seemed an intriguing proposition. I decided not to refer to any musical material in Gaspard, but took my cue from the textual elements that accompany the score. The title of the work comes from a collection of poems by Aloysius Bertrand. It is is generally translated as “The Treasurer (or Jewel Keeper) of the Night.&rdquo.

This is my first work for piano, except for studies. The 'bell' and 'cloud' in the subtitle are metaphors of motifs used in this piece. The motif representing the sound of the 'bell' in Le gibet, the second of Gaspard de la nuit by Maurice Ravel, is transferred here and tolled insistently from the beginning. The motif gradually loses its figure and transforms into tremolos which represent 'clouds'. I name the process 'Disincarnations.' The work represents the transforming process itself. -Kenji Sakai.
