About the composition

The Five Piano Pieces for Easter 1912, H 59bis, is known only from a set of sketches in Martinů's Second Book of Sketches of Vocal and Piano Pieces of 1912 (PBM Ad 154). The work is probably a kind of musical 'diary', a collection of pieces composed in the same place over a continuous period of time. The title of the work comes from Harry Halbreich, who collected these compositions under one catalogue number and gave them a German title. It is therefore not certain that Martinů planned to put these compositions together in one cycle.
