A Contribution towards Research on the Mass Compositions of Antonio Caldara Preserved in Prague (on the basis of selected sources from the archives of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star and the other music collections).
Příspěvek Jana Hory je věnován edičním zpracováním varhanních kompozic od hudebního skladatele Leoše Janáčka. Autor, jenž je sám výtečným varhaníkem, zde hodnotí jejich úroveň i nedostatky., The article summarises all of the problems with the existing editions of Leoš Janáček’s organ compositions. The indisputable originality of the composer’s musical language, highlighted by his peculiar, inimitable notation and the nearly illegible handwriting that resulted when his hand could not keep up with his thoughts, did not always lead to comprehension of the composer’s intentions. These circumstances also emboldened the efforts of publishers to make the notation of his compositions more intelligible and often to “improve” his works in the best sense of the word. It is the author’s assertion that in spite of the existence of a Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leoš Janáček and of many other printed editions, we shall still have to wait for an edition of Janáček’s organ works that will correct all of the errors in the musical text and will approach a return to the composer’s notation., Jan Hora., Rubrika: Informatorium, and Anglický abstrakt na s. 213.
