Although the titles of the individual pieces might suggest works for children, this is not actually the case. Their performance demands advanced technical skill and interpretive depth. The atmosphere of each piece undergoes dramatic shifts. The musical character is as if an adult, filled with nostalgia for their childhood, is humorously depicting fragmented memories of the past.
