Serge Bortkiewicz's 'Aus meiner Kindheit (6), Op. 14' is a collection of six piano pieces that were composed in 1907. The work was premiered in the same year in Leipzig, Germany. The six movements are titled 'Am Kamin', 'Im Garten', 'Auf der Schaukel', 'Im Badezimmer', 'Im Krankenzimmer', and 'Im Schlafzimmer'. The first movement, 'Am Kamin' (By the Fireplace), is a gentle and nostalgic piece that evokes the warmth and comfort of a cozy fire. The second movement, 'Im Garten' (In the Garden), is a lively and playful piece that captures the joy and energy of playing outside. The third movement, 'Auf der Schaukel' (On the Swing), is a whimsical and carefree piece that mimics the motion of a swing. The fourth movement, 'Im Badezimmer' (In the Bathroom), is a humorous and lighthearted piece that depicts the sounds and activities of getting ready in the morning. The fifth movement, 'Im Krankenzimmer' (In the Sickroom), is a somber and reflective piece that portrays the quiet and contemplative atmosphere of a sickroom. The final movement, 'Im Schlafzimmer' (In the Bedroom), is a dreamy and romantic piece that captures the peaceful and intimate moments of bedtime. Overall, 'Aus meiner Kindheit (6), Op. 14' is a charming and evocative work that showcases Bortkiewicz's skillful use of melody, harmony, and texture to create vivid musical portraits of childhood experiences.
