From the Viennese waltz to the tango: with the Five Pieces for string quartet from 1923, Erwin Schulhoff caught the pulse of his time. For the Czech composer, who himself had an “unbelievable passion” for dance and absorbed various modern trends like a sponge, jazz also played a crucial role. A few years later, this inspired his compatriot Bohuslav Martinů to create his jazz ballet “La Revue de Cuisine”, a turbulent love story between pot, lid and other kitchen residents. The humorous work was created during his time in Paris, the most important center of the artistic avant-garde. Here Martinů completed his studies with Albert Roussel, who in turn had learned his craft from Vincent d'Indy. The latter was rather distant from modern developments and preferred to pay homage to two baroque dances with "Sarabande et Minuet". The minuet not only found its way into the instrumental forms of Viennese classicism, such as in Haydn's string quartet, but also fascinated the impressionist Claude Debussy. With the minuet of his Petite Suite, he recalls the gallant court parties of the past, before the suite culminates in a lively ballet with the character of a waltz.
