It is devoted to changes of metre and tempo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe work, previously known only from his correspondence, was long considered lost until a manuscript copy resurfaced in Brno in 2011.  The jazz piece One-step, composed in 1921, is also made accessible here for the first time.  It hitherto only existed in the composers autograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with these two discoveries, this album contains the dance pieces that Martinu composed in Policka in the 1920s as well as the three-part cycle Christmas, composed in Paris in 1927.
