Descrição

Leos Janácek began composing his seventh opera, “The Cunning Little Vixen”, based on the popular feuilletons of Rudolf Tesnohl dek, in January 1922. The first copy of the score, since lost, was completed by Václav Sedlácek inOctober 1923, while the second copy was prepared by Jaroslav Kulhánek in January 1924. The world premiere took place on 6 November 1924 under the direction of Ota Z tek and was conducted by Frantisek Neumann. The vocal score waspublished in Czech before the event and then again in 1925 along with the German translation by Max Brod, which is something of a separate version of the text in its own right.
This volume of the complete edition reprints thecritical edition by Jir Zahrádka, which was published by Universal Edition in 2010. The present edition newly includes transcriptions of the libretto in three languages (Cz/Eng/Ger) and a detailed Critical Report (Eng). Theedition draws on all extant sources and in consideration of Janácek’s active participation in rehearsals for the premiere production integrates both the dynamics of František Neumann and the performance markings of Sir CharlesMackerras into the musical text.
This is the third opera to be published in the complete edition, following “Fate” and “The Makropulos Affair”.
