According to the ticket catalogue of Bohuslav Martinů's compositions compiled by Karel Šebánek before World War II (Šeb 1938-00-00a), the piece titled Burlesque for piano (Allegretto con brio) was finished and existed in manuscript. Today this manuscript is missing. The leaflet contains an inscription by M. U. [Mojmír Urbánek Publishing House]. Reference to the existence of the composition is also mentioned in Šafránek's monograph (SHV, Prague 1961, p. 347).
