About the composition

Pastel (1910), H 8, almost the first of Martinů's songs, tells of the enduring nature of “first love” in terms to which the young composer responds with eager overstatement. The recording of the composition was released for the first time by Naxos in 2014 (Martinů: Songs, Vol. 2 – The Months; Jana Wallingerová, Giorgio Koukl).
