Bohuslav Martinu byl svetove proslulý ceský hudební skladatel hudební moderny 20. století. Jeho umelecký vývoj prošel od impresionismu pres neoklasicismus, expresionismus a inspiraci jazzem až k ryze vlastnímu kompozicnímu stylu.
Bohuslav Martinu was a prolific Czech composer of modern classical music.
Description:
Martinů wrote 6 symphonies, 15 operas, 14 ballet scores and a large body of orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental works. Martinů became a violinist in the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and taught music in his home town. In 1923 Martinů left Czechoslovakia for Paris, and deliberately withdrew from the Romantic style in which he had been trained. In the 1930s he experimented with expressionism and constructivism, and became an admirer of current European technical developments, exemplified by his orchestral works Half-time and La Bagarre.
