Abstract

This article focuses on selected details of the deep relationship between Antonín Dvořák and Leoš Janáček, which began during Janáček's studies at the Prague Organ School in 1874–1875. The paper discusses Janáček's detailed analyses of Antonín Dvořák's four symphonic poems based on the ballads by Karel Jaromír Erben, which demonstrate the creative parallels between the two composers, as well as Brno performances of the symphonic poems during Dvořák's lifetime and reflection in the contemporary press. The article also shows that Janáček, in analysing the symphonic poems, made use of his work on the theory of speech melody, and that he became the first theorist of Dvořák's work.
