Janácek's Works for Cello and Piano Leoš Janácek wrote only two works for cello and piano, of which only Pohádka (Fairy Tale) became established in the concert repertoire. Although he completed the work, the composer did not want to have it published. The history of the work’s composition is long and complicated. Janácek began writing the work before 1910, however, the Pohádka (Fairy Tale) only received its final form after a series of corrections in 1923. The second composition, the Presto, is incomplete. Only a sketch exists which Janácek did not develop further. The original tempo marking of Allegro was changed by Janácek himself to Presto. The work has been discussed under this title in recent Janácek literature.
