Description

Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) set down his Nonetto (Nonet) No. 2, H. 374 in January 1959, the last year of his life.

Scored for a grouping of five winds and four string players, it is constructed in three short movements: 1. Poco Allegro 2. Andante 3. Allegretto. Instrumentation: 1.1.1.1: 1.0.0.0: Vn.Va.Vc.Bs.
