Erik Pevernagie
“Social counterpoints can be a shrieking reality. But life may nevertheless become a colorful canvas with an array of opportunities, allowing us to escape from the suffocation of our enclosure if we hold ourselves receptive to the healing power of the daily little marvels and stay aware of the vivifying unexpectedness of the ‘moment’. (‘"Côté cour…Côté jardin" )”
Erik Pevernagie

“Bach merged the horizontal Counterpoint with the vertical Harmony. Before him, Harmony was subjected
to Counterpoint. After, him, it is the contrary. Thus, he merged the Line with the Color,
the Old time with the New time ; his Head was a titanic Forge.”
Jean-Michel Rene Souche
