Works for Violoncello and Pianoed. by Jiří Fukač, Bedřich Havlík and Jiří ZahrádkaA Tale, Presto, A Tale about Tsar Berendyey after Zhukovski (Supplement)

• With the very first publication of Janáček’s Tale in four movements (early version)

A Tale is the only composition written by Janáček for violoncello and piano (if we disregard the sketchy Presto). Thiswork has undergone a complex development, attested by a number of surviving versions dating back to the years1910 –1923. This new edition also publishes for the first time, as a supplement (with a critical commentary by J. Zahrádka), an early version of the work taken from a copy owned by Antonín Váňa, one of the first performers ofthe piece. The end of the first movement was considerably altered in the copy, which, uniquely, also contains a fourthmovement. This version reveals a simpler setting and not only represents a certain level of development in a singlecomposition, but also offers an interesting alternative for the performer. This current edition also includes the one-movement Presto, which the composer apparently originally intended to include in A Tale.

String Quartet No. 2 “Intimate Letters“ed. by Leoš Faltus and Miloš Štědroň

• Reconstruction of the original version – marked audible changes in the work

After Janáček’s unexpected death (12 August 1928) the uncertain genesis of Intimate Letters became the greatestissue underlying the work: the surviving copies were not definitively authorised. The editors of this new edition havereverted to Janáček’s autograph sketches as the main, most reliable source and, using these as a basis, have recon-structed the work as it stood at the point of Janáček’s death. The musical text, taken from the Complete Critical Edi-tion of the Works of Leoš Janáček (Vol. E/4), therefore contains clear differences in comparison with earlier editions.

One of the composer’s last chamber works came into being through the efforts of pianist Otakar Hollmann(1894–1967), an invalid from Word War I. Janáček wrote a piece in four movements based on loose associationswith military music; the piano part has equal partners in the flute (piccolo), two trumpets, three trombones andtenor tuba (French horn).

The Danubeed. by Leoš Faltus and Miloš Štědroň

The editors returned to Janáček‘s unfinished autograph of the symphony, endeavouring to follow it to the letter asfar as possible. The work betrays daring orchestration, however, the sketchiness and torso-like nature of some sec-tions (especially in the fourth movement) required more active intervention than stipulated in the editorial princi-ples and guidelines of the Complete Critical Edition. The bi-lingual critical commentary (Cz/Ger) describes thesechanges. The volume contains a preface by Jarmila Procházková (Cz/Ger/Eng/Fr/Rus), the complete score (publishedfor the first time) and a facsimile of the autograph score in the form of a supplement.

These include masterpieces of Janáček’s choral writing, in particular, compositionswritten to the texts of Bezruč’s Silesian Songs (Halfar the Schoolmaster, Maryčka Magdónova /this volume containstwo Janáček versions/, The Seventy Thousand) and the choral piece The Wandering Madman, written to the wordsof Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. In addition, the volume includes pieces inspired by folklore The Wreath, Four

Glagolitic Massed. by Jiří Zahrádka, Leoš Faltus

Janáček wrote his famous GlagoliticMass for vocal solos, mixed choir,symphony orchestra and organ, basedon an Old Slavonic text, in 1926 at hisfavourite spa resort of Luhačovice.The musical notation in this edition

presents two versions of the work in two separate volumes: the version which the composer completed before thefirst rehearsals and subsequent premiere in Brno in December 1927, and the version he partly reworked for the firstPrague performance in April 1928 which – after further revisions and treatment particularly of the text, but also thecomposition itself, to a certain extent only partly involving Janáček – was published after his death by Universal Edi-tion Wien in 1930. This second “standard” version, revised according to critical edition guidelines, also labelled andregarded as the final authorised version, contains a preface by Jiří Zahrádka closely examining the genesis of thework, and a critical commentary with a detailed description and appraisal of all surviving notation and other sourcesrelated to both versions of the work.

BEDŘICH SMETANA 1824 –1884

URTEXT SERIES OF PIANO WORKS

Edited by Jan Novotný

• Based on the Complete Edition of the Piano Works of Bedřich Smetana

• Tried and tested fingerings by the editor

• New forewords by Jarmila Gabrielová (Cz/Eng/Ger)

This new urtext series edited by the distinguished Czech pianist and au-thority on Smetana, Jan Novotný, offers performers an almost completesummary of Smetana’s piano works. The composer’s early piano pieces,alongside the first polkas, are represented in three cycles dating from theyears 1844–1849. At this time, the composer was studying music the-ory and composition with Josef Proksch, a teacher in Prague, and him-self gave private piano lessons to the family of Prince Leopold Thun.A further volume reveals the composer as a creator of short, lyrical pieces– moments of repose, varied in character and style. These pieces weremostly written in the 1840s–1850s with the intention of using all 24keys, something which Smetana ultimately did not fully accomplish.

The artistic stylisation of the polka accompanied Smetana right from thevery start of his compositional endeavours and he also returned to it inhis mature oeuvre. The publication of Polkas for Piano brings togetherthe composer’s best writings in this genre. The last and, at the sametime, crowning example of Bedřich Smetana’s piano works is the cycleCzech Dances, comprising four polkas and ten national folk dances(1879). Published together in one volume (BA 9519) are a group ofworks of a virtuoso character, appearing occasionally at various times, yetthey share common traits – compositional mastery and technical diffi-culty – written in the style of Franz Liszt and other leading Romantics.

COMPLETE URTEXT SERIES OF CHAMBER WORKS

Edited by František Bartoš, Josef Plavec and Karel Šolc

• Urtexts from the Study Edition of the Works of Bedřich Smetana, Volume XV: Chamber Music Works

• Detailed forewords by Marta Ottlová (Cz/Eng/Ger)

Trio in G minorIn the context of his complete output, Bedřich Smetana's chamber music has generally been felt to be of lesser im-portance. However, the modest number of works is deceptive; Smetana took a keen interest in the interpretation andstudy of chamber music throughout his life. His own compositions were without exception unusual works, which wasalready evident in the Piano Trio in G minor of 1855. He wrote this in memory of his daughter Bedřiška who diedbefore her 5th birthday. Smetana ended the composition only three months after her death.

BA 9518 score and parts | € 21,95 / CHF 32.90

String Quartet No. 1 in E minor"From My Life"The composition of the first string quartetwas preceded by a period of fateful changesin Smetana's life. In 1874 he lost his hearing.Two years later he moved with his family toJabkenice in the countryside, which seemedto him like an expulsion; he suffered from hisdeafness and missed contact with like-minded company. He presented the stringquartet as a conversation within a close cir-cle of four friends who discuss what is tormenting them. It is a kind of passionate and resigned dialogue betweena spirited person and his destiny.

String Quartet No. 2 in D minorThe second string quartet of 1883 is Smetana's last chamber music work. It can also be regarded as a personal con-fession, as emerges from numerous letters by Smetana. The work elicited mixed responses – the unusual characterof the whole composition, its brevity, discontinuity and density were also seen by Smetana's admirers for a long timeas a sign of an incomplete creative process. However, the opposite is true. This work was far ahead of its time. In itsuncompromising quality, it points the way to works of the 20th century.



From the HomelandTwo Duets for Violin and Piano

The duets were written in 1880 inJabkenice, the pieces were firstbrought out by the Urbánek pub-lishing house in Prague in 1881.In the words of the composer, theduets are ”written in a simplerstyle, intended more for domesticmusic-making than concert per-formance, while the latter is cer-tainly possible; the music has a typically national air, but with my own melodies“. Fingerings and bowings in theviolin part have been verified by Ivan Štraus.

New edition of the comic opera in three actsTHE BARTERED BRIDE

Edited by František Bartoš

• A fundamental work of modern Czech opera

• Urtext based on the critical edition of Smetana’s ownvocal score

• Vocal text in Czech and German (translation by KurtHonolka)

• New foreword by Marta Ottlová (Cz/Eng/Ger)

Bedřich Smetana only began to devote himself inten-sively to the project of an original opera in Czech at theage of 38. The libretto of The Bartered Bride, the sec-ond of Smetana’s nine operas, was written for Smetanaby the poet and journalist Karel Sabina. The subject cho-sen for the comic opera was the rural story of a pair oflovers whose relationship is frowned upon by their par-ents. It is set during the festivities of a village churchanniversary.The final form of the work, which soon came to be re-garded as a national opera, was preceded by a relativelydifficult genesis. The opera was written between 1863and 1865 and was premiered on 30 May 1866 at theProvisional Theatre in Prague, where the composer’s lastversion of the work was also performed in 1870.This vocal score contains the musical text of the criticaledition of Smetana’s own vocal score. The newly-set edi-

tion contains both Czech and German vocal texts; the German textwas translated by Kurt Honolka.

The vocal score replaces the old edition AE 112.

LEOPOLD KOŽELUH 1747–1818COMPLETE SONATAS FOR KEYBOARD

Edited by Christopher Hogwood

• The first complete edition of all keyboard sonatas by the Czechcomposer Leopold Koželuh

• Fills a gap in the repertoire of the Czech and Central-Euro-pean classical repertoire

• Suitable for amateurs as well as professionals, ideal for teach-ing purposes

• Detailed introduction (Cz/Eng/Ger), critical commentary (Eng)and facsimiles

As the foremost representative of Czech music in 18th centuryVienna, Leopold Koželuh was noted primarily as composer, pi-anist and keyboard teacher. His 50 keyboard sonatas cover hisentire career and mark not only the transition from the harpsi-chord and clavichord manner to the fully idiomatic forte-pianostyle, but also the development of the “classical sonata” whichspanned several decades (1773–1809).Until now, pianists have had little chance to acquaint themselveswith the complete range of Koželuh's sonatas since few existed

in modern editions. For the first time this new complete edition by Christopher Hogwood presents all sonatas forkeyboard solo. There will be four volumes in total and the works will be presented chronologically.
