Ambivalent about Janacek

I don't know... I am ambivalent about Janacek. I like that he sounds very original and wild. (though that is really the stuff written at the end of his life; the earlier music is more "Germanic", late romantic). It is so clear that his best music "grows out" of the inflections and intonation and rhythm of the Czech language. And he has his own way of developing his musical ideas, usually through repetition and variation of short motives and patterns. (Enescu too considered that the "best" way of developing folk inspired music, as he thought using "western" symphonic development on those types of motives wouldbe like "setting diamonds in stone": -> bad). But that to me, also makes his music sound sometimes somehow superficial. Because the motives are always fairly short and "primitive" - there are no truly long lines. The patterns are always slightly twisted, warped. It is like a puzzle of many small pieces stuck together somehow artificially. The orchestration is always "in your face" and spaced in "funny" ways. And most of the times it is developed following the same "recipe". But Janacek, like the Russians, during and before his time, was looking for a "Slavic", non-Germanic sound. And he succeeded there. In some ways he is like a more modern (and less alcoholic, I guess!) version of Mussorgsky. With similar aspirations: to find a "slavic" sound, to derive the essence of the motives from the spoken language, etc.
Sometimes his music reminds me of the late poems of Dvorak, who Janacek idolized. But still, Dvorak was in essence a composer in the Germanic tradition. Janacek at his best was not. I don't know...
OK, rant over, sorry!
