Extra Information	Petit Blanc is as the poet calls it a Creole song about a slavegirl's love for a white boy.

The theme is a nice mix of major and minor. It seemes virtuosic but isn't to difficult.
The song it's based on is very particular. Here is the first part:

Un petit blanc, que j’aime,

En ces lieux est venu;

Oui oui c’ était lui-même,

C’ etait lui, je l’ai vu.

A la pauvre Négresse

Il porte le bonheur;

Elle voudrait sans cesse

Le presser sur son coeur.

Petit blanc! mon bon frère!

Ah! Ah! petit blanc si doux,

Il n’ est rien sur la terre,

D’ aussi joli que vous.
