His own note on the work, written in one long, breathless sentence for the Prague première, perhaps reveals that the spirit that is more important than the detail: Janáček’s memory of a story he had read a decade earlier would seem to be less than crystal clear. Trying to map the plot of Gogol’s novel onto Janáček’s music in any more than a vague way is problematic. Later that same year the creation of the state of Czecho-Slovakia brought an end to 200 years of Austro-Hungarian rule. By the time he completed Taras Bulba in 1918, the war had left the empire exhausted. The First World War was raging, and the Czech nationalist movement was gathering pace, inspired by Russia’s offensive against Austria-Hungary at Galicia. However, it was not until 1915 that he began work on his orchestral work based on Gogol’s tale. At a time when the Czechs were still ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Taras Bulba’s tale of a nation’s struggle to free itself from oppression struck a chord. Leoš Janáček read the novel in 1905 and made extensive notes. Even as he dies, Taras calls on his men to continue the fight, and predicts that a great Tsar will come to rule the world. Finally, Taras is caught in battle, tortured and burned to death by his captors. Taras attempts to disguise himself to reach the prison to see his son, but his ruse fails, and he witnesses Ostep’s execution from the crowd. Ostep, meanwhile, is captured during battle and tortured by the Poles. Taras discovers his son’s betrayal and executes him. Andrey falls in love with a Polish girl, and renounces his heritage to help her and the besieged Poles.

They set out to join the war against the Poles who have occupied the western Ukraine. Ostep is the more adventurous and true to the Cossack nature of the two, while Andrey is a romantic. Nikolai Gogol’s novel Taras Bulba tells the story of a Ukrainian Cossack and his two sons.
