“Eenie meenie, minie, moe…“
Counting out is a common practice among children around the world. It consists of short, whimsical rhymes that are either spoken or sung, often in endless repetitions. The piece consists of several such rhymes. However, instead of text, we hear melodies played by the pianist, and we witness unexpectedly expressive figures of digits changing within numbers as if enchanted by the music.
