註釋This is the first full-length study of Leos Janacek to be published in English. It is a sympathetic account of the composer's life, his background, periods of study in Brno, Leipzig, Vienna and Prague, his contribution to the cultural life of Czechoslovakia, and his struggle for recognition. Janacek lived at a time when Czechoslovakia was achieving independent status, a period when national feeling ran high and when national consciousness was being translated into new artistic media; he was one of the chief exponents of this new feeling and he incorporated into his music all that is truly indigenous in Czech culture - folklore, folk song, the passionate spirit of the Slav people, their struggle for independence both politically and culturally. This study presents a complete picture of Janacek as a man and Janacek as a composer. His orchestral works, choral works, and operas are minutely analyzed both musically and dramatically and are critically examined from every point of view.
