Demachy - Pièces de Violle - 1685

Playlist · Jonathan Dunford · 28 items · 6 saves

Composed in 1724, this piece already carried a powerful message: the possibility of unity — between styles, between tastes… and between peoples. A call for peace through music.

Today, despite international tensions, artists like Ivan and myself continue this dialogue, finding harmony on stage that political leaders often fail to achieve.
