The Cunning Little Vixen
Despite her ambivalence to his feelings for her, Janáček was inspired by her to create the lead characters of three of his operas; Káťa in "Katya Kabanová", the vixen in "The Cunning Little Vixen" and Emilia Marty in "The Makropulos Affair". Other works that were inspired by his passion include "The Diary of One Who Disappeared", the "Glagolitic Mass", his "Sinfonietta" and the "String Quartet No. 2" (subtitled "Intimate Letters").
