Martinu - Concerto for Piano and Violin (1/3) 1953

Bohuslav Martinu (Martinu) (December 8, 1890 August 28, 1959) was a Bohemian Czech composer, who wrote six symphonies, 15 operas, 14 ballets and a large body of orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental works. He was a violinist in the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and taught music in his hometown. Martinů left Czechoslovakia in 1923 to Paris, and retired from the romantic style in which he had been trained. In the 1930s he experimented with Expressionismand constructivism, and became an admirer of the latest European technical developments, through his orchestral works half-time and La Bagarre illustrated. He also took jazz idioms, as in his Kuchyňské Revue ("Kitchen Revue"). Of the postwar avant-garde styles, neo-classicism influenced him the most. He continued to use Czech and Moravian folk songs about his work, usually children's rhymes, for example in Otvírání studánek ("The Opening of the Wells"). He emigrated to theUnited States in 1941, fleeing the German invasion of France. Although he was successful as a composer in America, was received many commissions, he was homesick for Czechoslovakia. He never returned to his home, and he died in Switzerland.

Martinu - Concerto for Piano and Violin (1) 1953

Bohuslav Martinů (Martinu) (December 8, 1890 August 28, 1959) was a prolific Bohemian Czech composer, who wrote six symphonies, 15 operas, 14 ballet scores and a large body of orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental works. He became a violinist in the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and taught music in his home town. In 1923 Martinů left Czechoslovakia for Paris, and deliberately withdrew from the Romantic style in which he had been trained. In the 1930s he experimented with expressionism and constructivism, and became an admirer of current European technical developments, exemplified by his orchestral works Half-time and La Bagarre. He also adopted jazz idioms, for instance in his Kuchyňské revue ("Kitchen Revue"). Of the post-war avant-garde styles, neo-classicism influenced him the most. He continued to use Czech and Moravian folk melodies throughout his oeuvre, usually nursery rhymes—for instance in Otvírání studánek ("The Opening of the Wells"). He emigrated to the United States in 1941, fleeing the German invasion of France. Although as a composer he was successful in America, receiving many commissions, he became homesick for Czechoslovakia. He never returned to his native country, and he died in Switzerland.
