Les Cinq Doigts was written during the winter of 1920-21. Intended for children, the five fingers of the right hand often stay in the same position throughout each piece while the left hand plays a simple accompaniment. Stravinsky 'found it rather amusing, with these very much restricted means, to try to awaken in the child a taste for melodic design in its combinations with a rudimentary accompaniment'. Their beguiling simplicity should not be confused with being simplistic, and they contain passages which it could easily have come from larger works. The fourth piece, Larghetto, is redolent of The Firebird, the sixth, Lento, could have come from Petrushka and the final piece, Pesante, recalls The Rite of Spring.
