All these pieces are improvisations, or derived from improvisations, inspired by my children and their beloved kitten. Their image and voices are present in each note, and I see them in my mind every time I listen to this suite. It also evokes one of my favorite classical piece by the same name, written by Robert Schumann.

“One evening, my children asked me to sit at the piano and play them a lullaby to help them go to sleep. That’s how the tune was born. I played it again often at my concerts, but this take has exactly the right spirit of melancholic simplicity.” ~Jean-Michel Pilc
