It's based on a novella also called The Kreutzer Sonata, which in turn is so named after a piece written about in the book called The Kreutzer Sonata, a.k.a Beethoven's 9th Violin Sonata, which is infamous in it's own right.
Janacek: one of the all time masters up there with Beethoven Mozart Bach Wagner Verdi Monteverdi Mussorgsky Schubert - those I'd take to the desert island I luckily don't have to go to :-). Janacek the passionate, the intense, the sensual, the erratic, the nervious, the earthy, the voice of nature, wild and so loving and tender, unique immediately recognisable ... let's promote this Great Genius
This music gives me goosebumps... the good kind.

Ma chi sono i due imbecilli che hanno messo il pollice verso?
Questo compositore è un genio.

this interpretation is quite decent. Try Leipziger Streichequartett or Budapest String Quartet.

IMHO, one of Janacek's best works if not his best piece.

Janáček is one of the dearest composers to me. Great piece, And yes, it's sad, just like Tolstoy's work. Janáček really did capture its spirit!

Janáček, the great Janáček. A battle of great spirit against death. Janáček won, he stayed deathless.
