    BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ: EARLY ORCHESTRAL WORKS, VOLUME TWO by Michael Crump In 1906 a promising young Czech violinist called Bohuslav Martinů lef his home town of Polička and began life as a student at the Conservatoire in Prague. His studies were made possible largely afer an appeal in his local newspaper raised the necessary funds. Doubtless he had every intention of rewarding the trust thus placed in him by graduating with full honours, but the cultural life of the Czech capital proved to be irresistibly distracting. Te performances at the National Teatre, in particular, drew him like a magnet night afer night, usually in the company of his friend and fellow-student Stanislav Novák. His devotion to the theatre unfortunately led to the neglect of his violin studies and his eventual expulsion from the Conservatoire in 1910, but by this time he was already well aware that his future lay in composition, not performance. He stayed on in Prague, supported by modest fnancial support from his parents, and his love-afair with the National Teatre continued unabated. Novák later wrote a short reminiscence of his friend, giving details of his musical sympathies at this time of his life: He was free, nobody bothered him with counterpoint, he could attend rehearsals of the Philharmonic and read all day, he could compose whatever and however he liked and in the evening he would have to get himself to the theatre at any price. At this time he would never miss a single performance of Smetana’s operas, nor of Rusalka or Te Jacobin.

  • An Overview of Bohuslav Martinů‟S Piano Style with a Guide to Analysis and Interpretation of the Fantasie Et Toccata, H
    An Overview of Bohuslav Martinů‟s Piano Style with a Guide to Analysis and Interpretation of the Fantasie et Toccata, H. 281 by Jennifer Crane-Waleczek A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved November 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Robert Hamilton, Chair Andrew Campbell Glenn Hackbarth Kay Norton Janice Meyer Thompson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2011 ABSTRACT Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) was a prolific composer who wrote nearly 100 works for piano. His highly imaginative and eclectic style blends elements of the Baroque, Impressionism, Twentieth-century idioms and Czech folk music. His music is fresh and appealing to the listener, yet it remains intriguing as to how all the elements are combined in a cohesive manner. Martinů himself provides clues to his compositional process. He believed in pure musical expression and the intensity of the musical idea, without the need for extra-musical or programmatic connotations. He espoused holistic and organic views toward musical perception and composition, at times referring to a work as an “organism.” This study examines Martinů‟s piano style in light of his many diverse influences and personal philosophy. The first portion of this paper discusses Martinů‟s overall style through several piano miniatures written throughout his career. It takes into consideration the composer‟s personal background, musical influences and aesthetic convictions. The second portion focuses specifically on Martinů‟s first large-scale work for piano, the Fantasie et Toccata, H. 281. Written during a time in which Martinů was black-listed by the Nazis and forced to flee Europe, this piece bears witness to the chaotic events of WWII through its complexity and intensity of character.
