About

Musical expression should be the result of a composer’s personality and experience, not of unusual technical means. Music is not a question of calculation, for the creative impulse is identical to the desire to live, to feel life.

This musical credo of the Moravian composer Bohuslav Martinu can be sensed in his numerous operas, symphonies and concertos, composed in Prague, Paris, the USA and Switzerland, all stations in his life. But his chamber works, such as the three magnificent Sonatas for Violoncello and Piano, also reflect Martinu’s lifelong need to reflect life in his music. Thus one can feel the shocks of war and American exile in the three works written in 1939, 1941 and 1952 respectively – but also the passionate confession of the atmosphere of his Czech homeland.
