This is a two-page piece in Allegro tempo, C major, 2/4 time, and free form. By skillfully layering simple legato movements in both hands, a natural flow of melody and harmony is created. There are no octaves or difficult chords, and accidentals are kept to a minimum, making it accessible for learners at the foundational stage. Its refreshing sophistication and mature mood make it an attractive repertoire choice for performers as well. It can also be optionally performed in combination with Le Chameau (The Camel)Les Insectes (The Insects), which were published simultaneously.
