Leos Janácek
July 3, 1854 - August 12, 1928
born in Hukvaldy, Czech Republic, composed during the Modern period
born in Hukvaldy, Czech Republic, composed during the Modern period
For most of his life, Czech composer Leos Janácek (1854-1928) was an obscure church organist and choir director in the city of Brno. The success of his opera Jenufa, on which he'd labored 20 years, led to Janácek's fame and fortune. The last years of his life were studded with great compositions of startling originality: the operas Káta Kabánova, The Cunning Little Vixen, The Makropulos Case and From the House of the Dead, the Sinfonietta, Capriccio, two string quartets and piano pieces. Janácek's surprise success also led to an affair with a younger woman; Janácek died in her arms, precipitating a scandal. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi
