The works of Leos Jancek, including Jenufa and several of his other operas, have been widely performed in recent years.
But they have rarely been investigated closely from a theoretical perspective, and their musical language remains only partially understood.
Zdenek Skoumal here offers a chronological exploration of Jancek's compositions that focuses on musical structure, identifying elements and processes that give the music coherence, character, and interest.
