« Rarement compositeur ne fut à ce point indépendant et instinctivement non conformiste, a écrit Guy Erismann à propos de Martinu, de sorte que toutes les passions musicales qui ont obligatoirement pesé sur lui ou ont participé à sa formation, furent assimilées dans le silence, apprivoisées et intégrées à son propre tempérament, en renforçant les traits fondamentaux de celui-ci. » …/ In an article on Martinu, the eminent French specialist of Czech music Guy Erismann wrote: Rarely has a composer been independent and inherently unconventional to the extent that every musical passion which was bound to have influenced him or contributed to his training was subconsciously assimilated and mastered, becoming a part of his own character and thus emphasising its fundamental nature.
