Janacek's Sinfonietta

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps Janacek's Sinfonietta in a musical landscape.

Leo拧 Jan谩膷ek composed the Sinfonietta, premiered in June 1926, at the age of 72, as a vibrant celebration of Czech national pride and military strength. Dedicated to the Czechoslovak Armed Forces, the work reflects themes of independence, strength, and civic pride. Sara Mohr-Pietsch charts a path to the Sinfonietta, exploring the musical influences on Janacek, and the impact the piece had on music that followed it.
