Bizet Whether Bizet was fond of children or not is difficult to say. If we draw upon the evidence of ‘‘ Carmen" we should say not, for most of the characters in that opera are far more likely to have eaten children than to have fondled them. The title of the Suite, ‘" Children’s Games," means that these pieces are rather little meditations. on the happiness of childhood and its ways, than music for singing games. The pieces, five in number, were selected for orchestration from a set of twelve which Bizet composed for piano, about, and not for, children. 9. 0 Weather forecast and station notices 9. 5 Recordings: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Bruno Walter, " Academic Festival Overture, ES A obtss ki.
