Included in Jardin d'enfants (Children's Garden), a piano collection for learners published by Henri Lemoine (first edition 1961, supervised by M.-R. Clouzot). The Japanese title is based on the Japanese translation concurrently noted in the score itself. Over a crisp, single-note accompaniment in the left hand, the right hand plays a light and agile melody, evoking a clarinet. Marked Très rythmé (very rhythmically), it is in 2/2 time signature and G major. The melody, with its syncopation and blue notes, clearly shows an awareness of jazz. As symbolized by the opening of "Rhapsody in Blue," the timbre of the clarinet has an inseparable connection with jazz. Although a simple piece, roughly at the intermediate Burgmüller level, its benefit lies in familiarizing learners early on with musical ideas that differ from rigid classical forms.
