The Sinfonietta (subtitled “Military Sinfonietta” or “Sokol Festival”) is a very expressive and festive, late work for large orchestra (of which 25 are brass players) by the Czech composer Leoš Janáček. It is dedicated “To the Czechoslovak Armed Forces” and Janáček said it was intended to express “contemporary free man, his spiritual beauty and joy, his strength, courage and determination to fight for victory.” It started by Janáček listening to a brass band, becoming inspired to write some fanfares of his own. When the organisers of the Sokol Gymnastic Festival approached him for a commission, he developed the material into the ''Sinfonietta''. He later dropped the word ''military''. The first performance was in Prague on 26 June 1926 under Václav Talich. Typical performance duration is 20–25 minutes. ==Orchestration== The score calls for the following orchestra with expanded brass section: ;Woodwinds: :Piccolo, alternating Flute 4. :3 Flutes :2 Oboes :English Horn :Clarinet in E-flat :2 Clarinets in B-flat :Bass Clarinet :2 Bassoons ;Brass: :4 Horns in F :9 Trumpets in C * :3 Trumpets in F :2 Bass Trumpets * :4 Trombones :2 Euphoniums (as "Tenor Tubas") * :Tuba ;Percussion2 :Timpani :Cymbals :Chimes ;Strings :Harp :Violins I, II :Violas :Violoncellos :Double Basses * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sinfonietta (Janáček)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
