"Gaspard" is actually a french adaptation of an Arabic word. Properly translated, the tite of the suite would be: The Treasurer of the Night.
Here's a quotation from Wikipedia: "The name Gaspard is derived from its original Persian form, denoting the man in charge of the royal treasures: "Gaspard of the Night or the treasurer of the night thus creates allusions to someone in charge of all that is jewel-like, dark, mysterious, perhaps e
ven morose"
Wikipedia says:
"Ondine is an oneiric tale of a water fairy singing to seduce the observer and accompany her to visit her kingdom deep at the bottom of the lake in the triangle of water, fire and earth. It is reminiscent of the tinkling of the water in a stream, woven with cascades. This movement was intended to describe the water sprite in Aloysius Bertrand's poem, attempting to lure men into her domain."
