About the composition

The piano piece Ballad of Miss Vilma's Umbrella (Balada o deštníku slečny Vilmy), H 65, is, like the song Tears (Slzy), H 41, and the song The End of Everything (Konec všemu), H 43, dedicated to an unspecified Miss Vilma H. The sketch is outlined in Martinů's First Book of Sketches of Vocal and Piano Pieces of 1912 (PBM Ad 153), where it is immediately after the song Tears dedicated to this person.
