These Three Studies for Four-handed Piano were conceived of as a triptych whose unifying principles were to be the first-slow-fast movement order of the classical sonata and a symmetrical arrangement of tonalities with A major occupying the centre (F minor- A major- C minor). The term Studies alludes not so much to the 19th century pedagogical concept of pieces-as-exercises, as to an attempt to extend, investigate and study the possibilities of expression and texture of the piano for four hands.The First Study is generated out of a single rhythmical motif whose development is modified by the intervention of two contrapuntual passages. A certain difficulty of execution arising from the need to cross hands in both sections of the keyboard conforms, in this case, to the traditional definition of study as an exercise focussed on a specific technical problem.The second piece might be defined as a study of expression, being the explicit disposition of an ostinato accompaniment and two superior voices in conversation. I cannot help, listening to this study, being reminded of the texture of the slow Largo of Bach's Concerto for 2 violins and the manifest pathos of the Andante of Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto.The Third Study is an exercise in rhythmical interpenetration in which continual changes of accentuation and metre are combined with passages of a light and mellifluous character.It is a long-standing ambition of mine to supplement this work with three more triptychs and, so, complete a set of twelve studies for four-handed piano.

“With very few studies exisiting for the Snare Drum, Keiskleiriana 2 fills a very large gap. Deriving from orchestral Snare Drum parts, these Delécluse studies have been developed to cover aspects such as technical and rhythmical difficulties. Keiskleiriana 2 is compiled by Jacques Delécluse, a French percussionist and composer. For many years, Delécluse has been a soloist in the Orchestre de Paris and more recently, founded an ensemble of Keyboard percussion instruments which bear his name. As an experienced percussionist himself, and with much invaluable experience, Delécluse's Keisleiriana 2 for Snare Drum is well-informed and essential to aspiring percussion players.”.
