I. Au sprint ! (Run like a sprinter!)

II. Tout est lié, n'est-ce pas ? (Everything is slurred, right?)

III. Du bout de la pensée (From the edge of thought)

IV. Dans une saine supériorité (In a healthy superiority)

V. Hâve de corps (Pale as a corpse)

VI. Léger, comme un œuf (Light as an egg)

VII. Aussi vite que possible (As fast as possible)

As an homage to the French composer Erik Satie (1866–1925), almost all expression and tempo marks in this piano suite have been borrowed from his works. The opening movement can be seen as a sporty challenge: all 88 keys of the piano have to be played as fast as possible. The title Ouvrez la tête translates as Open Your Head. TR, 2018
