A collection of short pieces representative of J. Gregoir's lyricism. While gentle and introspective, unlike Schumann, it possesses a bright, philanthropic sentiment, yet also a strange tranquility, devoid of human presence. A sense of resonance from a distant place characterizes this composer's individuality. Similar to Op. 91, this collection also bears dedication notes only in the French edition, with the names Ch. Neustedt, E. Billard, and J. Cazeuaud appearing in order of the pieces. Published in 1865. Here, rather than German music, it evokes a premonition of French modernism, as seen in composers like Chabrier and Godard. (2019.5.22)
