Intimate Sketches (Intimní skici) is a collection of piano miniatures by Czech composer Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) published in 1994, sixty-six years after his death.
[1] The thirteen pieces in the set, each only a minute or two long, were gathered from manuscripts and ephemeral publications, notably the People's News (Lidové noviny).
[2] Håkon Austbø plays eleven of the pieces on his Janáček: Piano Works (Complete) (Brilliant Classics, 2005).
Lars David Kellner [de] has recorded all pieces except the 'Rondo' (a juvenile work) on his 3-CD Janacek compilation (HOFA, 2013).
Intimate Sketches was followed by a second volume of twenty-six miniatures called Moravian Dances (Moravské tance).
