Over the course of a few days in May 1878 he produced a quartet for two Violins Cello and Harmonium originally entitled Malickosti (Bagatelles); the printed version later introduced the title Bagatelles.Although the themes are less complicatedand fewer demands are made on the players this cannot be described as music in a simpler style.The score and parts published as part of the first Complete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak were edited for publication by Frantisek Bartos.
