piano solo pieces by Martinu
on: May 17, 2025, 01:29:52 PM
I'm asking if anyone has some knowledge/experience on the piano solo pieces of B. Martinu, listed below.
I like the music I've listened to by Martinu - mostly concerti and chamber music, would like to pick up an interesting intermediate to advanced piano piece. I think the sonata would be too much. Wondering if anyone has some knowledge of the other pieces listed
Sonata for Piano, H 350 (1954 – Nice, France)
Ritornels (Les Ritournelles), H 227 (1932)
Fantasie et Toccata, H 281 (1940)
Film en miniature, H 148 (1925)
Three Czech Dances, H 154
Adagio-Memories, H 362 (1957)
Seven Czech Dances, H 195
Crotchets and Quavers (Čtvrtky a osminky), H 257
Loutky (Puppets) (3 books, numbered by Martinů in reverse chronological order) [31]
Loutky I, H 137 (1924 – Polička, Czechoslovakia/Paris, France)
Loutky II, H 116 (1918 – Polička, Czechoslovakia)
Loutky III, H 92 (1914 – Polička, Czechoslovakia)
Etudes and Polkas, H 308 (1945 – South Orleans, Cape Cod, MA, USA) [3 books]
Dumka (unnumbered), H 4 (1909 – Polička, Czechoslovakia)
Dumka No. 1, H 249 (1936 – Paris, France)
Dumka No. 2, H 250 (1936 – Paris, France)
Dumka No. 3, H 285bis (1941 – Jamaica, NY, USA)

I'll be waiting to see what answers you get. I loved his trumpet sonata (just heard it in a concert, never played the piano part) and looked for some of his piano solo music - all I could get my hands on were some of the Puppets pieces, and I did not find them as interesting as that trumpet sonata. I'd also love to hear what others suggest.
