This paper describes the design of a MMI for "the genetic exploration" of a musical piece. This design was a part of an empirical and technological research project on the compositional activity by Philippe Leroux of his piece Voi(rex). This whole research project is itself related to the current development of an integrated framework combining cognitive theory, cognitive ethnography empirical studies and design rationale. This MMI allows the researchers to add / modify / suppress / annotate composer's documents, to link them to interviews of the composer about the compositional process of his work. It allows also to make and propose elements of analysis, and to navigate through documents, interviews and elements of analysis using the recording file of the work and multiple hypermedia links. Other researchers may use the MMI to challenge the analysis made and propose their own alternative analyses. The MMI is also the benchmark of a future assistance software for active musical listeming by musical students and musical amateurs.
