But Crumb's work is on a much more modest scale than the French composer's massive pianistic compendium. In fact, it is a 'little' suite by comparison with several earlier piano works by Crumb. It does not call for the piano to be amplified to create the 'larger-than-life' sound quality desired in the four volumes of \u003cem\u003eMakrokosmos\u003c\/em\u003e (1972, 1973, 1974, 1979). Nor does the piece involve 'symbolic' notations (where the staves are arranged in shapes of a cross or circle), vocal effects from the performer, or the use of additional objects to modify the piano sound, all of which appear in the \u003cem\u003eMakrokosmos\u003c\/em\u003e series. However, in the Little \u003cem\u003eSuite, Crumb\u003c\/em\u003e does continue in his refined use of harmonics, muted tones, and pizzicati, using these in combination with material performed on the keyboard in the conventional fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe music created with these means is sometimes contemplative in mood, as in the hushed reverence of the second movement, or the surreal setting of the 16th century 'Coventry Carol' in the sixth; sometimes visionary, as in the solemn repeated chords and melodic patterns of the first movement or the exuberant cosmic dance of the fifth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrumb uses a curious example of self-reference in the fourth piece. In this movement, there appears twice, in pizzicati, a melodic fragment from the 'Wanderer-Fantasy' movement of \u003cem\u003eMusic for a Summer Evening\u003c\/em\u003e. A connection is thus made with the Magi who have \"wandered\" from afar to Bethlehem.
