Children's Corner (L. 113) is a six-movement suite for solo piano by Claude Debussy. It was published by Durand in 1908, and was given its world première in Paris by Harold Bauer on 18 December that year. In 1911, an orchestration of the work by Debussy's friend André Caplet received its première and was subsequently published. A typical performance of the suite lasts roughly 15 minutes.
It is dedicated to Debussy's daughter, Claude-Emma (known as "Chou-Chou"), who was three years old at the time. The pieces are not intended to be played by children; rather they are meant to be evocative of childhood and some of the toys in Claude-Emma's toy collection.
Claude-Emma was born on 30 October 1905 in Paris, and is described as a lively and friendly child who was adored by her father. She died of diphtheria on 14 July 1919, scarcely a year after her father's death.
There are six pieces in the suite, each with an English-language title. This choice of language is most likely Debussy's nod towards Chou-Chou's English governess. The pieces are:

I concerti di RAI 3 Dall'Aula Magna dell'Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" il pianista Bruno Canino interpretò nell'anno 1996 l'opera pianistica di Claude Debussy in una serie di tre concerti che io ho registrato in cassette VHS. Allora si poteva fare, la Rai trasmetteva regolarmente musica classica di ottimo livello sia artistico che tecnico. Credo sia giusto pubblicare questi concerti non tanto come appassionato di musica, ma per rendere omaggio alla straordinaria bravura del pianista Bruno Canino, che in quelle serate riusci a stupire i presenti e anche i telespettatori sia per aver imparato a memoria tutta l'opera pianistica di Debussy, sia per le sue straordinarie doti di pianista di altissimo livello.
