About Leoš Janáček
- Leoš Janácek (Czech pronunciation: ['l?o? 'jana?t??k] (listen), baptised Leo Eugen Janácek; 3 July 1854 – 12 August 1928) was a Czech composer, musical theorist, folklorist, publicist and teacher.
- He was inspired by Moravian and other Slavic folk music to create an original, modern musical style.Until 1895 he devoted himself mainly to folkloristic research.
- While his early musical output was influenced by contemporaries such as Antonín Dvorák, his later, mature works incorporate his earlier studies of national folk music in a modern, highly original synthesis, first evident in the opera Jenufa, which was premiered in 1904 in Brno.
- The success of Jenufa (often called the "Moravian national opera") at Prague in 1916 gave Janácek access to the world's great opera stages.
- Janácek's later works are his most celebrated.
- They include operas such as Káta Kabanová and The Cunning Little Vixen, the Sinfonietta, the Glagolitic Mass, the rhapsody Taras Bulba, two string quartets, and other chamber works.
- Along with Antonín Dvorák and Bedrich Smetana, he is considered one of the most important Czech composers.
