"The title Les rondes, H 200, refers to the round dances of the Russian ‘chorovod’; its original title was Moravian Dances. The work is closer to Janáček than any other by Martinu . In fact one can hear many evocations of the folk-music of his homeland, especially in the finale where Martinů achieves an astounding tonal richness with just a few instruments. Coming as it does right in the middle of his ‘French’ and jazz period it is a work of unadulterated national feeling." (Klaus Simon & David Stevens)

Brash, effervescent, sounds like the best of Martinu's Paris years.
Jazz-age ballets. How come this and "Revue de Cuisine" almost never get heard?
Very, VERY Stravinskian!!!
Oh I love Martinu chamber music! I got to play La Revue de Cuisine last semester (bassoon) and it was so much fun!
Thank you for sharing Martinů's work! Love it very much. ♥
What I find most impressive about this work is the ends of phrases, and particularly the ends of each of the movements. Eash ending seems strangely perfect in its way, which is a very difficult thing to achieve and something which, to me at least, remains a kind of endless musical mystery: how did that happen? It is not because he resolves harmonically in a traditional way. It is some combination of harmony, rhythm, form and instrumentation that combines by a sort of magic. Thank you for uploading.
2:52 reminds me of Zelda Breath of the wild
