This bitter-sweet divertissement of my early years draws on many impressions and influences from my Berlin days of 1950, including Paul Klee and the colours of his “vocal scarf”, classical ballet, Boris Blacher and Stravinsky. The folksong “C’est le mai, c’est le mai” is used as a variation theme. I thoroughly revised the piece in 1990.
