Score Type

The scenario of Martinu’s 1930 “Echec du Roi” (Checkmate) anticipates that of Stravinsky’s “Jeu de Cartes” (1937), with dancing chessmen taking the place of dancing poker chips. The score mixes Stravinskyan neo-classicism with the tongue-in-cheek wit of Milhaud and Satie; bits of jazz and blues-also a vocal soloist and a narrator-are tossed into the stew for felicitous measure. It has the following sections:

1. Pas-De-Trois Clownesque / Pas-De-Trois Klaunské   
2. A) Pas Des Cavaliers / Tanec Jezdců  
3  B) Danse Des Fous / Tanec Střelců  
4  C) Danse Des Tours / Tanec Věží 
5  Solo Des Reines / Sòlo Královen  
6  A) Le Défi / V`yzva 
7  B) Ouverture Espagnole / Španělské Zahájeni   
8  La Partie D'Échecs / Hra V Šachy
9  Blues  
10 Échec Et Mat / Šach A Mat  
11  Finale
