Romance (16.Xi 1879) [Alf:36-M153491]

LeoĊĦ JanĦcek's (1854-1928) Romance is the fourth in a series of seven romances for violin and piano written in 1879 at the request of his musical theory and composition instructor, Professor dr. Oskar Paul. JanĦcek found capturing the mood of a romance difficult, and only this one of the seven exercises survived, but he did write to his future wife that she would like this fourth romance. Full of ardent lyricism, bold harmony and modulations, and a beautiful three-part form, the work has become a popular and very welcome addition to the JanĦcek repertoire, particularly for young violinists.
