Marie-Josée Choquette’s instrumental music is distinctly melodic, slightly nostalgic, and reminiscent of film scores. Her compositions echo the Romantic era, emphasizing emotional expression and artistic freedom. Her three albums reflect her heightened sensitivity and her passion for drawing romantic, somewhat nostalgic melodies from her piano. Some pieces are also joyful, likely mirroring her love of life, nature, and her adventurous spirit.
