This was a period in which Janá ek suffered the death of his second child and had to come to terms with multiple rejections from the Prague music scene which denied the composer and his distinctive musical language the opportunity to participate in international musical developments until 1916 when his work finally managed to gain international recognition.In the Mists was composed during this period of great difficulty and despair in a house in the garden of the Brno Organ School hidden from the eyes ofthe world with a broken self confidence and a mind in a state of melancholy.Influenced by Debussy?s impressionism In the Mists is one of the most remarkable works in 20th-century Piano literature said to be 20 years ahead of its time. In the Bärenreiter Urtext edition Janá ek?s cycle is presented in the form that can be found in the Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leo? Janá ek. A preface by Ji Zahrádka is also included in Czech English and German.Because of the virtuoso nature of Janá ek?s work it is more challenging and less accessible but extremely rewarding when mastered.

The romantic pieces require a rich full tone whereas the selections by Faure and Debussy should be treated with subtlety of phrasing and tonal refinement.

Par ROZMAN ANZE. An?e Rozman's Waking of the Green Spring (Prebujanje zelene pomladi) draws together Impressionism and Minimalism as it paints an image of the titular spring erupting to life. The piece opens with the four flutes painting a mysterious running texture based in whole tones, swelling and fading in turns. The central slower section creates an almost reverent choral sound with large blocks of chords, building again into the opening textures but colored with more complex melodies and staccato runs. The work ends with a gentle spring dreamscape. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / 4 Clarinettes
