John Warrack in the notes to Firkusny's recording of this piece for Deutsche Grammophon claims that he "seized the third movement from the alarmed performer at the final rehearsal". The accounts agree but I personally don't know if they come from the composer's autobiography? The pianist of the premiere's (Ludmila Tucková)? A witness' account?

Not stated in the article, and I personally do not know. Brambleclawx
No problem,
Universal Edition is a reliable music publisher. The information on the orchestration is interesting and it should be surely mentioned in the article. I can't imagine this beautiful piano piece orchestrated. I want to listen to that! :) --

The piece was recorded by the the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Claus Peter Flor. The recording has been broadcast a few times, but (sadly) has not been released in CD format. —Preceding

Would you like me to make a mention of the Verbey Orchestration in the article?
Something like: "The Dutch composer
Theo Verbey made an orchestral version of 1.X.1905 which received its premier on May 9th, 2008 in Utrecht, the Netherlands, with the Dutch
Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by
Claus Peter Flor"

Absolutely no problem, feel free to improve the article. Unfortunately I can't find the orchestrated version online. It is very interesting for me, as
Leoš Janáček is one of my favourite composers. One of my homes is situated approximately 150 metres from his grave :) --

Janacek's grave must be beautiful. I guess the beauty of Wiki is that now maybe a programmer will spot the arrangement and program it, so that it can be more widely heard...

Structure section
The "Structure" section does not discuss the structure at all. It merely tells the names of the two movements.
Either someone with a musicology background should write a section about the structure of the work, or the section should be retitled "Movements" or something similar.
What is a "renewed premiere"? The premiere of the first two movements was clearly in 1906 in Brno. The 1924 performance was of the same two movements - it would seem that it was just the 2nd performance (or the 1st in Prague).

I think you're right. "renewed premiere" is just an unfortunate phrasing for "second performance". Maybe
User:Vejvančický, who created most of the article
in May 2008 and used this term, can explain. --

I've changed the phrase. I think that back in 2008 I used direct translation of the phrase in my Czech source. The phrasing "renewed premiere" ("obnovená premiéra") is frequently used in Czech language. Btw
Michael Bednarek - your surname sounds a bit "Czech" as well... :)
