These improvisations are part of a project to compose one piece a day for a year. I've been publishing them to Instagram with the title of "Vignettes", piano improvisations on the theme of the French Republican calendar.

This video contains the 30 days of the month of Prairial, the third month of spring (printemps) in the French Republican calendar, which typically corresponds to the timeframe of 20 May through 19 Jun.

The days ending in 5 (quintidi) and those ending in 0 (décadi), were named after an animal or a tool, respectively, and the remaining days were named for "the grains, the pastures, the trees, the roots, the flowers, the fruits, the plants", according to the rural calendar proposal of Fabre d'Églantine.
