Yes this is it !
Thank you very much for posting this lovely piece

Hi all,

I have in a piano repertoire list a reference to "Portraits d'Enfants" by B. Martinu.
I searched everywhere I could think of and didn't find any work with a similar name written by Martinu.

I'm thinking that the name is probably wrong and maybe who wrote it got confused with Claude Pascal's work with the same name that appears on that list too.

Do, any of you knows any piano work by Martinu with a similar name? it must be very easy to play because it's on GRADE 2.
I thought of "Puppets" but maybe these are too hard for grade 2? Or maybe the "Children's Pieces", H.221? (I don't know the score)

For difficulty reference, grade 2 has Czerny op.599 and op.849, Bach's "Anna Magdalena's Notebook" and "Little Preludes".

Any tips?

Thanks.

I think this must be "Spring in the Garden", a collection of four children pieces. The first one seems doable by grade 2 student.

I've been listening to Martinu's 7 Arabesques for violin and piano.

Does anyone have a copy of the violin part?

IMSLP has the full score, but the violin part is missing:

Here's a score video. Lots of fun rhythms (personal favs are 2, 4 & 6).
