Program Note
Our daughter Allegra was a very vocal baby, long before she could speak. I took great delight in cataloguing her various vocalises and decided to explore them imaginatively in music for piano. The four pieces in this suite trace her day from morning to evening—her morning whoops, the growling of concentrated play, post-nap shouting, and the cooing sighs of her falling asleep at night—and imagine the whole mental and emotional state of this little child.
—Theodore Wiprud
