A decade-long unrequited passion for Kamila Stösslová inspired Leoš Janáček (LAY-osh YAH-na-check) to write his second work of this type, Intimate Letters.
A decade-long unrequited passion for Kamila Stösslová inspired Leoš Janáček (LAY-osh YAH-na-check) to write his second work of this type, Intimate Letters. The composer of another work of this type marked its second movement as allegro moderato à la polka. In the last movement of that work of this type, a violin sustains a high E to represent the composer's tinnitus. That piece is Bedrich Smetana's "From My Life." An extended stay in Spillville, Iowa inspired Dvořák's twelfth work of this type, subtitled "American." Haydn's 68 examples of this type of work helped make this chamber music genre popular. For 10 points, name this type of work for two violins, a viola, and a cello.
