Talk:1. X. 1905

Comment

John Warrack in the notes to Firkusny's recording of this piece for Deutsche Grammophon claims that he "seized the third movement from the alarmed performer at the final rehearsal". The accounts agree but I personally don't know if they come from the composer's autobiography? The pianist of the premiere's (Ludmila Tucková)? A witness' account?

Not stated in the article, and I personally do not know. Brambleclawx

would it be OK to publish an external link to this beautiful orchestration of 1.X.1905? http://www.universaledition.com/Leos-Janacek/composers-and-works/composer/2012/work/13092

No problem, Universal Edition is a reliable music publisher. The information on the orchestration is interesting and it should be surely mentioned in the article. I can't imagine this beautiful piano piece orchestrated. I want to listen to that! :) --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:45, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

The piece was recorded by the the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Claus Peter Flor. The recording has been broadcast a few times, but (sadly) has not been released in CD format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevey-22 (talk • contribs) 07:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Would you like me to make a mention of the Verbey Orchestration in the article? Something like: "The Dutch composer Theo Verbey made an orchestral version of 1.X.1905 which received its premier on May 9th, 2008 in Utrecht, the Netherlands, with the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Claus Peter Flor"Stevey-22 (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely no problem, feel free to improve the article. Unfortunately I can't find the orchestrated version online. It is very interesting for me, as Leoš Janáček is one of my favourite composers. One of my homes is situated approximately 150 metres from his grave :) --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:47, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Janacek's grave must be beautiful. I guess the beauty of Wiki is that now maybe a programmer will spot the arrangement and program it, so that it can be more widely heard...Stevey-22 (talk) 09:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Structure section

The "Structure" section does not discuss the structure at all. It merely tells the names of the two movements.

Either someone with a musicology background should write a section about the structure of the work, or the section should be retitled "Movements" or something similar.

Premiere

What is a "renewed premiere"? The premiere of the first two movements was clearly in 1906 in Brno. The 1924 performance was of the same two movements - it would seem that it was just the 2nd performance (or the 1st in Prague). Davidships (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

I think you're right. "renewed premiere" is just an unfortunate phrasing for "second performance". Maybe User:Vejvančický, who created most of the article in May 2008 and used this term, can explain. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

I've changed the phrase. I think that back in 2008 I used direct translation of the phrase in my Czech source. The phrasing "renewed premiere" ("obnovená premiéra") is frequently used in Czech language. Btw Michael Bednarek - your surname sounds a bit "Czech" as well... :) Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:40, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation and sorting it out. Davidships (talk) 14:39, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
