Janacek, Leos. (1854 - 1928). "26 BALAD LIDOVYCH. 26 VOLKSBALLADEN " - Two Volumes SIGNED . Prague: HUDEBNÍ MATICE UMELECKÉ BESEDY. 1922. 2 volumes, both signed and inscribed by the composer. "Nebyt nasí lidové tónové kultury-nebylo by nás ceskych skladatelu", Drph Leos Janácek...1928", ["Without our folk music, there would be no Czech composers"].


First edition, 2 volumes (of 5), folio, the first volume bound with Janácek's "Moravská lidová poesie v písních", contemporary cloth-backed boards; volume 2 in printed green wrappers (covers loose).


Deeply interested in folk music, Janacek collected folk songs with Frantisek Bartos and between 1884 and 1888 published them in his journal 'Hudebni Listy" ("Musical Pages"). In his later operas he developed a distinctly Czech style intimately connected with the inflections of his native speech and, like his purely instrumental music, making use of the scales and melodic characteristics of Moravian folk music.
