Background: Martinu was enormously prolific as a composer, often seeming careless of the fate of what he had written. He tended to avoid revision of his compositions and in consequence the vast quantity of music that he wrote is often of varying style, although he came, in the 1930s, to make increasing use of Czech thematic material.

The String Quartet No.3, was completed in Paris in Dec-1929 and dedicated to the Roth Quartet. With discernible elements of contemporary French influence and textures that occasionally recall Debussy, the work allows the composer to explore new timbres.

String Quartet No.6 was written in the winter of 1946 in New York, as Martinu recovered gradually from the debilitating effects of his accident at Tanglewood.

Martinu wrote his Duo for violin and cello in 1927, dedicating it to his Conservatory friend Stanislas Novák. The Three Madrigals for violin and viola were completed in New York in July 1947 and dedicated to the violist Lillian Fuchs and her violinist brother Joseph.
