"Important new material, profound questions, significant repertoire! Jan Vicar provides them all in this stimulating volume, elegant in its style and far reaching in its scope. It will be of interest to all scholars interested in Czech topics, and more broadly to anyone engaged with the most fundamental and fascinating questions in our field." - Michael Beckerman "There are few opportunities to read Czech scholars writing about Czech music. Here, in clear and fluent English, is one of the most active Czech musicologists of our day. Jan Vicar's writing on Janacek is especially valuable in that it presents a comprehensive picture of up-to-date Czech thought, attitudes and theories about two of Janacek's most individual and puzzling pieces, The Diary of One Who Disappeared and Taras Bulba." - John Tyrrell
