Jeux d'enfants - Petite Suite

Petite Sweets
There is a set of 12 small piano pieces composed by Georges Bizet for piano duet (piano four hands) in 1871. 
  1. L'escarpolette (The swing)
  2. La toupie (The top)
  3. La poupĂ©e (The doll)
  4. Les chevaux de bois (The hobby-horses)
  5. Le volant (Battledore and shuttlecock)
  6. Trompette et tambour (Trumpet and drum)
  7. Les bulles de savon (Soap bubbles)
  8. Les quatre coins (Puss in the corner)
  9. Colin-maillard (Blind Man's Bluff)
  10. Saute-mouton (Leap-frog)
  11. Petit mari, petite femme (Little husband, little wife)
  12. Le bal (The ball)   

Bizet orchestrated five of these (Nos. 6, 3, 2, 11, 12) as the Petite Suite.  I don't think he had grand daughters visiting on Easter.
