Here are two compositions (short format).
The first one is entitled "Le secret des fous" (in English, "The Secret of Madness") :



The second, "Un rendez-vous" ("A date"), is more lively :

Very pretty, wistful pieces with poignant phrasing. The sentiment and texture remind me strongly of Chaminade, whose music I am fond of. I liked the section in the first one from 1:18 to 1:37 with its attractive chord changes and wish it had lasted longer.

Very pretty works, very relaxing and i see some interesting changes of harmony that. As @ted says in "Le secret des fous", the chord change is surprising but it glued very well all the parts. Congrats.
