From the haunting beauty of the opening \\u2018From foreign lands and people\\u2019 (\\u2018Von fremden Landern und Menschen\\u2019), via the spare eloquence of the central \\u2018Dreaming\\u2019 (\\u2018Traumerei\\u2019), to the quiet rhetoric of \\u2018The poet speaks\\u2019 (\\u2018Der Dichter spricht\\u2019), the listener is taken through nuances of emotion whose effects are heartrendingly poignant.\\r\u003cbr\u003eWaldszenen (\\u2018Forest scenes\\u2019) is another collection of miniatures, and Schumann\\u2019s last major cycle for solo piano. This deeply \\u2018Romantic\\u2019 work in the most psychological sense of the word is no objective foray into the woods, but a very personal reaction to an imagined landscape; and equally striking is the sense that each piece represents just a shard of a larger experience. On the whole it is the more bucolic aspect that Schumann explores, though these pieces are not without darker shadows. And while they may be technically fairly straightforward, their changeability calls for the quickest of reactions and a wealth of subtle nuance.\\r\u003cbr\u003eOver half a century separates Schumann\\u2019s nature-inspired Waldszenen from the first book of Janacek\\u2019s On the overgrown path. The subject matter is darker and more oblique and the piano writing is deceptively treacherous, many of the difficulties far from overt. The title of the overall cycle refers to a Moravian wedding song, the bride lamenting that \\u2018The path to my mother\\u2019s has become overgrown with clover\\u2019. The sequence of ten pieces that comprises Book 1 constitutes, as the scholar John Tyrrell has written, some of the \\u2018profoundest, most disturbing music that Janacek had written, their impact quite out of proportion to their modest means and ambition\\u2019.\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK | On the overgrown path\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; | Book 1 JW VIII\/17 | Our evenings [4'02]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK | On the overgrown path\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; | Book 1 JW VIII\/17 | A blown-away leaf [3'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK | On the overgrown path\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; | Book 1 JW VIII\/17 | Come with us!
