Product Specs
This collection of fourteen pieces, together entitled
Puppets, plays an exceptional role in the
catalogue of early works by Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959), namely in that it
represents the
first works by Martinu which transcended his initial attempts at composition
and quickly
found a publisher. Thanks to their lasting popularity particularly with young
pianists, they
were ultimately published in numerous editions. (The way the pieces are
numbered, which
the composer verifiably accepted, however, does not correspond to their actual
chronological order - they were, in fact, written in reverse order, so that
Puppets III came
first, while Puppets I is the latest in the series.) All three books of
Puppets, which emerged
between the years 1912 and 1925 and, despite their title, differ from one
another in their
aesthetic approaches and progressive maturity, are published by Editio
Bärenreiter in
new, revised urtext editions edited by Ales Brezina. This urtext edition with
its relatively
comprehensive preface describing the circumstances surrounding the advent of
the work,
is supported by the latest research and an assessment of all known and
accessible
sources, which the editor presents and clarifies in detail in his critical
commentary to
the second and third books of Puppets. The second book (Puppets II) is dated
1918
and contains the following works: Puppet Theatre, Harlequin, Colombine
Remembers,
The Sick Puppet and Colombine Sings. Thanks to its witty musical ideas and the
composer's empathy for children and their intellectual world, Puppets has,
since
its first edition, always been highly popular among performers.
