- Janácek, 15 Moravian Folksongs - arranged for String Quartet
- Score and Parts uploaded for string quartet arrangement of Janacek's piano piece.
Paul Burnell came across Janacek's Moravian Folksongs as a result of listening to recordings made by Thomas Adès. Paul thought that the pieces would arrange well for string quartet and finished work on the arrangements in 2013.
Both the score and parts are available here on MusicaNeo.
The Fifteen Moravian Folksongs were composed by Leos Janácek in 1922 for piano with the folk melodies presented with the song texts. Should the ensemble wish to include singers the string quartet arrangements have retained in the score the song texts given in the piano version.
