There are currently more requests for Franz Schubert, but at the time I put this video into production, Janáček led the request pool, and it was too late for me to switch gears to Schubert.
I thought that Bedrich Smetana was truly the dubbed "the father of Czech music"?
I happen to be czech as well, and I find your attention to detail remarkable. It truly is pornounced the way you pronounced it, I am aware of no youtuber focusing on this topic making this much effort to not mispronounce! It is truly apreciated, we can get a bit jumpy when it comes to the portrayal of our country abroad. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I try my best to get my pronunciations as correct as possible. It's not always easy since American English doesn't have an especially wide range of phonemes when compared to some other languages ...
My favorite composer!
I was pleased to know that Janacek went to Russia. I expect he heard Boris Godunov there, since that work's "glukho" is the derivation of the melodic line from the spoken language, as in so many of Janacek's works.
Every time I want to learn about a composer I come to you first. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Actually, the different stress in Janacek's name is because he was from a region of northern Moravia close to the Polish border , and Polish has stress on the next to last syllable . His dialect had Polish stress patterns .
Great vid, glad I found this channel. I have a version of Janacek's Little Vixen where the 3 acts weren't chopped to ribbons for the studio release. One of my fav LPs.
Ah yes, awesome video! Good ol' Leos, one of my favourites alongside Bartok, highly original compositions imo.
Thank you, Thomas🌹🌹🌹
YOU ARE WONDERFUL, delightful and informative!!! 🌹🌹🌹
I've always resonated with Janáček. Such a 'tragic' figure in many ways. Thanks to all your insightful information, (and Jim's) I now see even greater similarities, which I'm not so sure how grateful I might be for.... TY
you made me wait sooooooooo long for that intro
you're winner!
Great video
Genius, thanks!
Nice! Your videos are getting better. Keep it up!!!
it took you 40 seconds to justify your pronouncing
totally worth it
You need more subs and views.
this channel could get him a lecturing job anywhere if he wants it
건빵 me too
Another great 20th century Czech composer worth a video l think, Bohuslav Martinu.

@@ClassicalNerd Thank you!
I know he's not a composer but could you do a video about William Primrose? Love your channel and all your videos, thanks!
Primrose has been added to the request pool: www.lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html
Thank you!!!!!
TY
Great video and pronunciation. Just a little correction. The stress is actually on the first syllable, but in czech it doesn't really matter, because it's so weak (probably why you don't hear it). The comma on the á means you say the a longer, imagine it like aa, it doesn't mean stress. As for the moravian thing, there are a lot of regional dialects in czech language and they don't follow any rules like that (it's just weird). Also again in czech the stress is generally on the first syllable but really has no importance, just don't bother with it (we don't :D). But again, great video, I did learn a lot from it. :)
Good to know! I was just glad I could find a pronunciation from an actual Czech person; for more obscure composers, I often have to take educated guesses in unfamiliar languages. (And there were a _number_ of takes where I said it wrong, because I've heard it mispronounced all my life!)
@@ClassicalNerd I totally understand and I really appreciate you doing this. Those little details are what's great about you. And I've learned a lot even though I'm Czech myself so thank you! :)
You're very funny. Classical music needs that!
What's that crazy recorder/clarinet thing at the bottom-right of the screen?
It's a cheap recorder that I apparently played when I was in kindergarten.
Darn...I was hoping for something exotic - perhaps from the Jetsons' universe :-}
Kostelnicka means churchwoman. I'm from czech, iam rehearsal pianist for acting conservatory and and every student must sing some of his Moravian songs :D it is usually about being shot in habsburgs vs someone war, being in love with someone who is unfaithful but pretty, but also about ontoligical questions or if the tree in forest is product of Jesus or just mother nature
Make please a video about Zoltan Kodaly
Due to the number of requests I receive, I've capped the number of requests I can get from any individual at five. You currently have six requests active in the pool, which I've grandfathered in-but I can't allow any more right now. Sorry!
As a Czech native, I have to say that Janáček is pronounced with stress on the first syllable. The á is long but still isn't stressed. It might be different in Moravia but Standard Czech is clear about stress :) Probably complicated, I know. But thanks a lot for the video!
I was just trying to copy the pronunciation from the Czech conductor in the video I found. Perhaps I misheard the long “á” as a stressed syllable when it's really just longer? Hard to say.
Have you seen the animated adaptation of The Cunning Little Vixen?
Can't say I have.

Janacek's operas are classical rap music.
0:53 so who is Jim?
On all of Stephen Colbert's late-night shows, whenever he has a clip to show, he references an unseen "Jim," so I decided to do the same.
@@ClassicalNerd Jim appreciates that.
