for piano (or carillon)
SPIELEREI for piano was composed in 1987.
It is a composition for young performers, especially written for the Cantabile Piano Competition in Antwerp.
The work contains 3 little parts, with each its own character.
The first part LEGGIERO is a light and rhapsodical part, existing from a few pithy motives and clear melodical fragments.
The second part CANTILENE is very melodious in the 3/4 measure, with a dreamy atmosphere.
The third part ALLEGRO is the most energetic one, with also references to the previous parts.
In 2024 carillon player Luc Rombouts made a version of this work for carillon, in close collaboration with Wim Henderickx's musical assistant, Diederik Glorieux,
