Film en miniature

Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959).

Since the creation of Puppets, Martinu's ability for joining didactical purpose and valuable artistic performance was very much obvious. The Puppets indeed create a special midpoint between instructive and concert compositions. Moreover, the children's world was given a few more nice Piano pieces that became popular for education - Film En Miniature though belongs with more demanding pieces.

Martinu (1890-1959) completed this work in Paris in 1925, the cycle relates, however, to native Policka (names of particular pieces contain topographic addresses connected with both Vysocina and alsoParis).

Film En Miniature consists of six compositions: opening Tango originating in rhythms of habanera dance, Scherzo, Berceuse, Valse, Chanson and Carillon.
