From morning to night: small songs for children, Op. 43
Composed in London in November 1937 (most probably for his seven-year old daughter Eva Anneliese), Wilhelm Grosz chose simple texts from the collection "Mein erstes Reimbuch" edited by Wolfgang Tischendorft, and published by Pestalozzi Verlag.

The performance is part of a chamber music recital entitled Fates and Fairytales: the Music of Wilhelm Grosz and Zigmund Schul. The texts can be found in Wolfgang Tischendorf and Emil Stahl (eds), Mein erstes Reimbuch (Berlin: Grunewald, Pestalozzi Verlags-Anstalt, 1927).
