Description
This cycle of piano pieces occupies an exceptional
position among the other compositions
from Bohuslav Martinu's early period. In view of the musical and aesthetic
challenges this
work presents, the cycle Puppets goes beyond the other pieces from this period
which,
broadly speaking, are didactic in nature and designed for the purposes of
study. Martinu
wrote the cycle between the years 1912-1925 and, during this time, he reworked
and
changed the pieces to the extent that Puppets I chronologically comes after
Puppets III,
which is the earliest in the series. The third book (Puppets I) dates from 1925
and contains
five short pieces. Puppets I-III are a joy to play, while providing a
worthwhile source of
study material, and are an essential part of the repertoire of young pianists.
All three books
are published by Editio Barenreiter in new, revised urtext editions edited by
Ales Brezina.
