About the composition

As its title suggests, Arietta is a transcription of a brief didactic composition (entitled Vocalise) of which Martinů later made an arrangement intended for either violin or cello. This would also account for the relative technical simplicity of the piece – for it was composed originally with the possibilities of the human voice in mind – as well as for the total absence of specific violin techniques and double stopping. For more information see H 188.
