-Empreintes, (hommage à Beethoven) créé par François-Frédéric Guy, commande du BeethovenFest à Bonn.
"On 2 Oct., French pianist François-Fréderic Guy performed two Beethoven sonatas surrounded with pieces by Debussy and Schoenberg and the world premiere of two compositions specially commissioned for this recital that commemorated the 50-year anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty between Germany and France. “Empreintes” by David Chaillou and “Arpeggiator” by Johannes Motschmann ingeniously exploited the piano’s wide spectral compass in ways that felt totally original. Delightfully free of gratuitous effects, they both managed to come up with new languages that were highly expressive. Both pieces are destined to become staples of the piano repertoire".
