Synopsis

Product Description
Bohuslav Martinu's 1940 Sinfonietta Giocosa was one of the last works he wrote before leaving Europe for America. The title is a misnomer in that the work is actually a piano concerto. Its overall style is neo-classical, although jazz influences tinge the finale. Similarly, the Tocata e due Canzoni of 1946 contains both neo-classic and jazz elements and features solo piano. The 1928 Jazz Suite is comprised of four pieces for small orchestra drawn from his opera Les Larmes du couteau and is written in an expressionist style inspired by the music of Kurt Weill.
