The Diary of One Who Disappeared

Zápisník zmizelého, or (The) Diary of One Who Disappeared, is a half-hour Czech-language quasi-operatic song cycle for tenor, alto, three other women's voices and piano completed in 1919 by Leoš Janáček. Of its 22 sections, 18 are for tenor and piano alone; midway through, three sections involve the women, and these are followed by a commenting one for piano solo: an intermezzo erotico. The song cycle was premiered at the Reduta Theatre in Brno in 1921.
