That worker was Janacek's friend, a carpenter, who was part of the peaceful demonstration and was stabbed by a soldier's bayonet, possibly Russian because of the time when Russia was still in Czechoslovakia at that time and their soldiers took over the territory.
I want to know if the classic pianists were to play this: Richter, Horowitz, Gilels, Istomin, etc. or even Cliburn, Watts, etc. let alone record this fantastic sonata.
It's really difficult due to its emotions instilled in this piece.
let me correct you.. those times, Czechoslovakia didnt exist yet.,. (was created after WW I. in 1918) ... Czech nation was a part of Austria-Hungarian empire.. and in the city Brno - german speaking majority lived those times there.. and the problem was that people wanted to study in czech schools (universities).. That's why those manifestations etc... (so.. nothing with russians this times.. russians came later - after WW II..)
