Misc. Notes Also quite different from its starting point. Completely revised and considerably modified on Dec. 31st 2017, including a new A3 cover design, and an introductory poem in French. Like the cello and violin piece, this is not really an arrangement, but a reinterpretation. Phrasings have been (momentarily ?) left out. Phrasings reinstated March 2018, and expanded 2021.

Misc. Notes While only a couple of measures longer (60 bars vs. 58), the cello and piano setting is much more than a mere transcription of the piano original. However, this being the first arrangement of the set, it adheres more closely to the original, as if the companion pieces, having been composed afterwards, progressively lost touch with it.
