Two Humoresques (1965) comprises the songs Bald vet zayn a regn (Soon It Will Rain) and A papir vil bageyn zelbstmord (A Paper Wants to Commit Suicide). These delightful miniatures are, despite their umbrella title, more than mere amusements. Both are concentrated and elegant compositions with fine examples of tone painting—raindrops in the first, and the pathetic falling figure followed by the sounds of an approaching train in the second—tone painting that is used to integrate the songs rather than to provide trivial sound effects. Traditional Jewish melodic elements are woven into the musical texture with great subtlety, such that they are probably not recognizable to most listeners.
