Art/Literary - Music | | French term or phrase: faisant office de contre-chant | Singing exercise op 34 N°14 Lentamento molto cantabile.
Work dedicated to the singer Antonita Nejdanova.
Originally written for a voice and piano, this composition was then transcribed for several instruments (violin, cello, clarinet...) :Dans cette vocalise, la cellule initiale est reprise et paraphrasée par le piano en contrepoint tandis que dans la partie conclusive c’est le clavier qui s’empare du thème, l’instrument faisant à son tour office de contre-chant.
Contrepoint et contre-chant seem to be both in english "counterpoint" , how can i avoid repeating the term ? |

Explanation:
I'd want to hear it, but contre-chant very often is not counterpoint.
