Leos JanÃ¡cek (1854-1928) composed the song cycle The Diary Of One Who Disappeared at a time when many people already considered him on a par with the other two masters of Czech national music, Smetana and DvorÃ¡k. The inspiration for the autobiographical 'Diary' came from a few enigmatic lines of poetry in two editions of the "Lidove noviny" (People's Newspaper) of May 1916. Although this work is JanÃ¡cek's most important original song cycle, his keen interest in the folk songs and dances of his Moravian homeland resulted in a plethora of arrangements, making this music also accessible to the classical concert hall. These include the Six Folk Songs Eva Gabel Sang (Sest nÃ¡rodnÃch pÃsnÃ jez zpÃvala Gabel Eva) and the Songs from Detva (PÃsne detvanskÃ©). Quite unlike the songs of the 'Diary', which chiefly make reference to the Moravian dialect, the arrangements evince the typically ethnic-sounding music JanÃ¡cek refined, so to speak, by adding to adaptations of the existing song lines a sophisticated piano part in the tradition of the great song compositions of the 19th century.
