Description

The composition "1.X.1905," commonly referred to as a "sonata," originated in the autumn of 1905, a period marked by violent riots between Czech and German-speaking populations in Janáček's hometown of Brno. Spurred by the death of a Czech worker, Janáček initially composed a three-part piano piece titled "From the Street, on October 1, 1905." However, he later destroyed the third movement in his fireplace and discarded the remaining two movements into the Vltava river, even before the work's premiere. As a result, the only surviving version is the first edition published in 1924, which Janáček expert Jiří Zahrádka has carefully evaluated and annotated for the Urtext edition by G. Henle Publishers and Universal Edition.

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.

Description

Janáček's poetic piano cycle "On an Overgrown Path" is widely considered one of his most popular works. Its evocative musical language captivates listeners, though few may realize the pieces had a complex and protracted genesis, with some originally intended for harmonium. The accompanying texts in Henle's Urtext edition, authored by leading Janáček scholar Jiří Zahrádka, shed light on the work's complicated source material. Additionally, the edition includes an appendix containing pieces Janáček omitted from or left unfinished in the final cycle. Acclaimed pianist Lars Vogt contributes the fingering.
