Leos Janácek composed his Suite for wind instruments 'Mládí' 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 - Jirí Zahrádka from the Janácek-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.This new edition comes with extensive program notes, excerpts of the original manuscript, and an extensive preface. This is a truly outstanding edition of a cornerstone of the repertoire!
