Foi preciosa a experiência de tocar a partitura de Edgar Allan Poe, cujo texto, misterioso e solene, apresenta um clima de apreensão permanente a cada virada de página – e também um refinado e sombrio humor.

Un homme apparemment en deuil, est hanté par la perte d'une femme nommée Lenore. Il est assis dans son étude, plongé dans la mélancolie et la tristesse, lorsque le corbeau entre mystérieusement dans la pièce. Ce personnage solitaire est en proie à une douleur profonde et à une obsession de la perte, et le corbeau devient un symbole de cette douleur persistante et inexorable.
