Leoš Janáček Slezské písně Sheet Music

Slezské písně — Ten Silesian Folk Songs for Voice and Piano

Composed in January 1918 and first published in 1920, Slezské písně gathers ten Silesian folk songs from Helena Salichová's collection, with piano accompaniments by Leoš Janáček that preserve the authenticity of the original melodies. The cycle runs roughly twenty minutes and is scored for solo voice with piano, all lyrics in Czech. This Bärenreiter edition (catalogue code H1403) presents the complete vocal score in a fifteen-page softcover booklet.

What singers and accompanists will find inside

The booklet contains the full piano-vocal score for all ten songs, including "A choť sem ja," "Dyž sem šel," and "V černym lese." The clear underlay of the original-language text supports singers working on Czech repertoire, while the compact softcover format opens flat on the music stand for pianists.
