First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Playing Horse Games is a quick, buoyant miniature in 3/8, built from repeated detached notes and chords. Its steady, springing pulse suggests the motion of a make-believe ride. The same short-note pattern continues throughout as the harmonies shift, the registers change, and the volume rises and falls. A quieter middle stretch leads back toward the opening material, then the final phrases grow softer before ending with a widely spaced last gesture. Interesting fact: the score asks for very detached notes throughout, making the repeated rhythm itself the piece's central character.
