' ("Children's Games") Op. 22, is a set of twelve miniatures composed by Georges Bizet for piano duet (piano four hands) in 1871. The entire piece has a duration of about 23 minutes. The movement titles are as follows: # ' (The swing) # ' (The top) # ' (The doll) # ' (The hobby-horses) # ' (Battledore and shuttlecock) # ' (Trumpet and drum) # ' (Soap bubbles) # ' (Puss in the corner) # ' (Blind Man's Bluff) # ' (Leap-frog) # ' (Little husband, little wife) # ' (The ball) Bizet orchestrated five of these (Nos. 6, 3, 2, 11, 12) as the ''Petite Suite''. The remaining movements were later orchestrated by Roy Douglas (5 numbers) and Hershy Kay (2 numbers) and the complete orchestral suite has been recorded as ''Jeux d'enfants''.〔(Reference Recordings ). Retrieved 6 December 2013〕 Bizet himself made an orchestral version of No. 8 which he did not include in the suite. It has been recorded by Michel Plasson. Sigfrid Karg-Elert wrote his orchestral suite after Bizet's ''Jeux d'enfants'', Op. 21, in 1902. In 1955, George Balanchine choreographed the entire suite as the ballet ''Jeux d'enfants''. In 1975 he made a new ballet, ''The Steadfast Tin Soldier'', using only four of the movements. A version for woodwind quintet of the final movement, "Le Bal," is the opening and closing theme music for the long-running syndicated Weekend Radio show, carried on many public radio stations. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeux d'enfants (Bizet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
