By Richard Simm. By Bedrich Smetana. Arranged by Richard Simm. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Classical, Folk, Multicultural, Romantic Period, World. Score. 9 pages. Richard Simm #1042836. Published by Richard Simm (A0.1464123).Smetana struggled hard for recognition in his life as a composer, but in his later years his major contribution to a Czech national style in music was acknowledged. "Vltava" is a marvellous orchestral depiction of the river that flows through Prague, reflecting the aspect of realism which was part of his romantic inspiration.
This 2-piano arrangement by Richard Simm is pianistically advanced in order to retain as much as possible of the original's rich orchestral texture, but the focus is on the beautiful main theme of the work, concluding with Smetana's rather Wagnerian coda. Polished pianists will enjoy taking part in the powerful, surging flow of this descriptive work.
