Mladi (Youth) - Suite for Wind Instruments

Leos Janacek composed his Suite for wind instruments 'Mladi' in 1924, when he was over 70 years old. Numerous sources still survive for this work, making it difficult to establish the definitive musical text. For Henle's Urtext edition - a cooperation with Universal Edition Wien - Jiri Zahradka from the Janacek-Archiv in Brno succeeded in brilliantly surmounting this difficulty: he consults all of the handwritten sources for the edition for the first time and is thus able to give exact instructions, for instance regarding the numerous tempo variants.
