These Two Scherzos appear to have been originally titled Characteristic Tone Pictures (Charakteristische Tonbilder), with No. 1 being 'Der Scherz' (Joke, Play) and No. 2 'Der Eigensinn' (Stubbornness). They were published in 1932 by the Croatian Music Institute (Hrvatski Glazbeni Zavod) in Zagreb, under the simple Croatian title DVA SCHERZA (Two Scherzos), through the efforts of the Croatian pianist Svetislav Stančić (1895−1970). Since most of his works, not limited to piano pieces, remain unpublished, this is considered a valuable published score. Both pieces are bright and full of dynamism.
