Each piece bears a whimsical title evoking a different childhood game or toy: spinning tops, soap bubbles, blind man's buff, and more. Bizet later orchestrated five of the pieces as the \u003cem\u003ePetite Suite\u003c\/em\u003e, but the complete set in its original form is a treasure of wit, grace, and melodic invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement by \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Tousignant\u003c\/strong\u003e adapts Bizet's delightful miniatures for ensemble performance, capturing the wit and whimsy of the original in a format accessible to a wider range of performing forces.
