Description

Op. 31 : 1 score (iv + 11 pages) ; includes table of contents and foreward.

The set of five miniatures Op. 31 consists of tuneful short pieces. Played slowly, the four bars from m. 6 to m. 9 in the left hand of the first number, are the theme of the lullaby I composed at Susie's suggestion, soon after our first daughter was born. Years later, I built the present pieces on this idea and this piano set is dedicated to our daughters Natalie and Brigitte. The title -- The Pyrenees -- refers to the mountains that I contemplated from our window in southern France or that I imagined when they were concealed by the rain or the fog, as I worked on this composition.

Movements:

1. Polochinelle in One Hundred Sections
2. Prayer for the Lost Child
