Product description

Schulhoff's own description of this piece is worth reading: "The accompaniment (of viola and double bass) in the beginning of the first movement (8/4-metre) is borrowed from Russian-Orthodox litany. Over this (as often in old Slavonic song) lies a floating melody in the flute.

The second movement (as a Scherzo) is in the form of a 'beseda', a national Czech dance, which as its main element uses a 'furiant' tempo. The theme of the slow movement (4/4 + 3/4), after a Carpathian-Russian love song, played unchanged - after each other - by each instrument, always appears in an ornamented frame of two voices.

The last movement is a Rondino after a song of a Carpathian-Russian bear driver, of which the second part consists of a Slovakian shepherd theme in the flute accompanied by an ostinato figuration of the viola and the double bass.

The whole piece is just a piece of popular music as is in use in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, where it is usual for people to sing in gay minor tonalities and dance to these. In the Concertino you find most of all gaiety, with a harmonic construction in Phrygian, Lydian and Mixolydian church modes. The origin of this piece lays in a peasant gathering of dancing/singing Czechs, Hanachs, Slovaks, Magyars and Carpathian-Russians which I [Schulhoff] attended in the city of Brno."
