Review
This series of essays serves to confirm Janacek's place in the pantheon of great composers. -- "Library Journal Every part of this volume offers much of value. -- Jan Smaczny, BBC Music Magazine I would recommend this book to anyone interested in music or in exploring the development of the nationalistic movement in music. Part I not only gives insight into Janacek the man and composer, but also Part II delves into Janacek the writer and his genuine attempts to comprehend the relationship between musical phenomena and human thought and language. Part II, 'Janacek's Writings,' has numerous musical examples to allow one to follow the composer's creative process. -- Carol Ann Modesitt, Opera Journal
