Leos Janacek (1854 - 1928) Rép. tchèque Leoš Janáček, né le 3 juillet 1854 à Hukvaldy et mort le 12 août 1928 à Ostrava, est un compositeur tchèque.
C'est l'un des plus grands compositeurs tchèques modernes avec Bohuslav Martinů et Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek, en incluant les représentants de l'école tchèque du xixe siècle, Bedřich Smetana et Antonín Dvořák.
Le 3 juillet 1854 à Hukvaldy, Amálie Janáček donne le jour à Leoš, neuvième enfant d'une famille qui en vit naître treize. Son père Jiří, instituteur du village, l'envoie à onze ans dans l'abbaye Saint-Thomas de Brno, où il étudie la musique sous la direction de Pavel Křížkovský. Il est remarqué grâce à ses prestations dans le chœur du monastère. Ses études le mènent alors pour deux ans à l'école d'orgue Skuherský à Prague, puis aux conservatoires de Leipzig, où il reçoit notamment l'enseignement de Carl Reinecke. En 1873, il prend la direction du chœur Svatopluk pour lequel il compose ses premières œuvres1.
Il rencontre en 1874 Antonín Dvořák à Prague. C'est le début d'une longue amitié. Antonín Dvořák critiquera à titre amical ses premières compositions et influencera durablement Leoš Janáček par sa manière de composer en épousant les intonations de la langue parlée.
En 1881, année de son mariage avec Zdenka Schulzová, il retourne à Brno pour se consacrer à l'enseignement de la musique. Il y fonde une école d'orgue qu'il dirigea jusqu'en 1920 ; cette école va d'ailleurs devenir plus tard le Conservatoire de Brno. Il aura deux enfants : le premier meurt en bas âge en 1890, la seconde, Olga, à l'âge de 20 ans (15.08.1882 - 26.02.1903). La mort de cette dernière est contemporaine de l'achèvement de son opéra Jenůfa et lui inspire ses plus belles pages, marquant ainsi une rupture stylistique ; ce qui permet de ranger le compositeur aux côtés des découvreurs de la musique du xxe siècle tels Kodaly, Bartók, Szymanowski ou Enesco, et même Stravinsky, bien loin des romantiques ou post-romantiques comme son ami Dvořák. Sa réputation reste jusque-là cantonnée à sa province, mais la création en 1916 d'une version remaniée de son opéra Jenůfa lui ouvre les portes de la capitale et une certaine reconnaissance. Il tombe alors amoureux d'une femme mariée, Kamila Stösslová (en), amour platonique car Kamila, qui a 38 ans de moins que le compositeur, est totalement indifférente. Déçu et obsédé par sa passion, il fera un portrait à charge de Kamila dans L'Affaire Makropoulos sous les traits de l'héroïne Emilia Marty soulignant sa froideur et sa dureté.
Comme beaucoup de musiciens d'Europe centrale, il va recueillir un certain nombre de musiques folkloriques de sa province (Moravie) pour s'en inspirer. Il se laisse influencer également par des sources slaves, notamment dans les thématiques de certains de ses opéras (dont Katya Kabanova) ou pour sa Messe glagolitique. La littérature russe exerce aussi une profonde source d'inspiration : son poème symphonique Taras Bulba s'inspire de la nouvelle de Nicolas Gogol, et son opéra De la Maison des Morts est inspiré de l'ouvrage de Dostoïevski. Quant à son premier quatuor à cordes (1923), il porte le sous-titre de Sonate à Kreutzer en référence à la nouvelle homonyme de Tolstoï, elle-même écrite en référence à la sonate numéro neuf de Beethoven.
Il meurt le 12 août 1928, des suites d'une pneumonie contractée lors d'une promenade en forêt près de Hukvaldy. Selon sa volonté, le final de La Petite Renarde rusée sera joué à ses funérailles. (Retracter) ... (lire la suite) Source de l'extrait biographique : Wikipedia

Over the
years Janácek’s
uvre has increasingly
received the recognition
it so richly merits and
performances of his works
are becoming more and
more frequent. This
development is, however,
offset by a manuscript
tradition so disorderly
that some of
Janácek’s works
continue, as before, to
be played in versions
which are heavily
adapted, corrupt or
otherwise contrary to the
composer’s
intentions. Thus, a
critical edition of
Janácek’s music
is indispensable for
scholars and performers
alike. This editon
presents an authentic
printed text based on all
available sources for
each work. In addition to
the musical text, each
volume also contains a
critical report (Czech /
German), a rendition of
deleted or rejected
versions, and a
comprehensive appendix of
facsimiles.

Leoš
Janácek’s
symphonic fragment Dunaj
(The Danube) dates from
the period of the
composition of
“Katya
Kabanovaâ€. The
composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies
and
water. “Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on
the Czech shores! Look
back downstream and you
will have an impression
of what you have left
behind in your haste. It
pleases you here. Here I
will rest with my
symphony.†Thus
Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphonyâ€
entitled Dunaj has
survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš
Faltus closely follows
the original
manuscript. A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava,
in fact doesn’t
turn out to be a musical
depiction of the Danube.
On the contrary, the
fateful link between the
destiny of women, water
and death permeates the
range of motifs found in
the work. It seems to be
no coincidence that
Janácek, whilst
working on the opera
Katya Kabanova, in which
the Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla
Kriciková into the
second movement, in which
a girl remarks that
whilst bathing in a pond,
she was observed by a
man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem
“Lola†by the
Czech writer Sonja
Špálová,
published under the
pseudonym Alexander
Insarov. This is about a
prostitute who asks for
her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his
remark “she jumps
into the Danube†to
the inconclusive
ending. To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forcesâ€.
The third movement is
said to characterise the
city of Vienna in the
form of a
woman. It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek
was not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language –
“ten Dunajâ€
– and assumes an
almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the
four timpaniâ€,
which was amongst
Janácek’s first
inspirations, appears in
the second movement. It
is not difficult to
retrace in it the fate of
the drowning bather. The
oboe enters lamentoso
towards the end of the
movement over timpani
playing tremolo, its
descending figure is
taken over by the flute,
then upper strings and
intensified considerably.
The motif of drowning
– Lola’s
despair – returns
again in the fourth
movement in the clarinet,
before the work ends
abruptly and
dramatically. One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which
Janácek used in
several late works as a
sort of “voice of
loveâ€.

“The
Glagolitic Massâ€,
one of the 20th century
masterpieces of sacred
music, has a very complex
genesis and constitutes
an intricate editorial
challenge. This
new critical edition
presents two different
versions of the work in
two separate volumes
(B/5-I, BA 6862 und
B/5-II, BA 6863): the
“September
1927†version which
the composer completed
before the first
rehearsals and subsequent
premiere in Brno and the
version he partly
reworked for the first
Prague performance in
April 1928. This second
version was then revised
further and published
after Janacek’s
death by Universal
Edition Wien in 1930.
Known as the “final
authorised
version“, it has
been newly edited for
this publication which is
based on the
engraver’s copy of
the score prepared by
Janacek’s regular
copyist Václav
Sedlacek. The new
Barenreiter edition also
contains an informative
preface
(Cz/Eng/Ger/Fr/Ru) as
well as detailed critical
commentary. The
“September
1927†version can
be seen more as a
supplement and appears
without text
commentary.
