Description

While piano music occupies a relatively small portion of Janácek's overall output, it nevertheless holds significant musical importance within his oeuvre. Our new Henle Urtext edition of Janácek's "In the Mists", edited by the seasoned scholar Jirí Zahrádka, serves as an impressive example of this. Composed in 1912 and first published the following year, the compact cycle was later revised by the composer and pianist Stepán Václav after its initial Prague performance in 1922. This definitive version, now available in our Urtext edition, also provides convincing solutions for practical interpretive questions, such as how to reconcile inconsistent pedal markings between Václav and Janácek.
