The name of the house where we live is Rasoabel, which is made up of the first syllables of our names: mine, my wife's and my children's. This gives rise to a series of notes: D, A, G, A, B♭, E, A.

In the first part, the whole theme is developed many times.

The second part is dedicated to my wife, Sonia, and is in the key of G.

The third part is dedicated to my eldest son, Abraham, and uses only two keys: A and B♭.

The fourth part is dedicated to my youngest son, Eleazar. The first 52 bars belong to the introduction of the Christian march that I wrote and dedicated to him, naming it after him. At the end of the piece, the full name of Rasoabel appears majestically.
