A recurrent formula is presented, for the enumeration of the compositions of positive integers as sums over multisets of positive integers, that closely resembles Euler's recurrence based on the pentagonal numbers, but where the coefficients result from a discrete integration of Euler's coefficients. Both a bijective proof and one based on generating functions show the equivalence of the subject recurrences.
