  • "In the Mists" is a piano cycle by Czech composer Leoš Janáček. It was composed in 1912, some years after Janáček had suffered the death of his daughter Olga and while his operas were still being rejected by the Prague opera houses; all four movements are anchored in "misty" keys with five or six flats; characteristic of the cycle are the frequent changes of meter. Czech musicologist Jiří Zahrádka compared the atmosphere of the cycle to the impressionist compositions, in particular those of Claude Debussy. The première took place on December 7, 1913, when Marie Dvořáková played it at a concert organized by the choral society Moravan in Kroměříž.
    The cycle is divided into four movements:
    I. Andante
    II. Molto adagio
    III. Andantino
    IV. Presto
    Picture: "Snow at Argenteuil" by Claude Monet.
    Pianist: Paul Crossley.

    Janacek had a very specific way to write. He often used small cells (sometimes symbolizing natural noises) and played skillfully with them. Such a technique can be found in these pieces. It makes their specific attractiveness. Janacek is in some regards unique in the music story. An important point: one may think of an influence of Debussy, but Janacek told "I have nothing to do with French impressionism" (Debussy did not accept the term "imprssionism" too, but that is another story). This work "in the mists" is unique by its aymosphere in Janacek's output. Its other important piano notebook "over an overgrown path' is quite different. Here, Janacek succeds in creating this vague atmosphere of being lost in the mists.

      @@shodanart I suggest to you to manage to listen fiest any piece from "In the mists" by L; Janacek" (or better the whole set) and then "Miststs", the first prelude of Debussy's second book. Of course, since i belong to French culture, I fully realize that i can be somehow biaised towards Debussy, but there is some kind of - let us say "spontaneous subjectivity and feeling" in Janacek's work, which is the signature of a great artist. Globally, I have Xzrch art and culture in haigh consideration. In Bohemia, I feel at home.

    Quand ma pensée s'endort et s'égare, cette musique la rappelle à l'ordre. Comme quoi, même le commun des mortels peut être touché par la détestation comme par la grâce. Janacek est à certains égards unique dans l'histoire de la musique: on peut penser à une influence de Claude Debussy mais Janacek a déclaré qu'il n'avait rien à voir avec l'impressionnisme français. Ce travail est unique par son climat dans la production. Il a réussi à créer cette atmosphère vague d'être perdu dans les brumes !

    Impressive music, but boring playing. The chosen tempo is good but the expression and intention of the sentences, flat. It goes nowhere. I like the pianist, not the particular decisions he made for this piece.

    Didn't anyone else have their concert interrupted by advertisement ? Not cool piano adverts , but selling pills to help you poop kind of adverts . Is this marketing in the new age ? we will stop annoying you when you pay us . Isn't that extortion ?

    Murakami is a shameless hack.
