Leoš Janáček was a Czech composer, musical theorist, folklorist, publicist, and teacher. He was inspired by Moravian and other Slavic musics, including Eastern European folk music, to create an original, modern musical style.

Quotes by Leoš Janáček (?)

“And don’t be ashamed of your nature. It’s so dear, so very dear to me. You are laughter ‘mixed’ from tears. It is that nature - I understand it quite a lot already - which is almost chronically sensitive. You are difficult to understand. What surrounds you is hard - and, Kamilka, heartless. It’s better to avoid hard stones than to fall among them.”
― Leoš Janáček, Intimate Letters: Leoš Janáček to Kamila Stösslová
