Following on from the Polkas (BA 9506) and the Czech Dances for Piano (BA 9507) a further edition of piano works by Bedrich Smetana is now appearing. This edition contains virtuosic compositions which reveal Smetana’s compositional mastery and his demanding technique in the style of Franz Liszt and other leading Romantics.
The edition contains the Allegro capriccioso dedicated to Alexander Dreyschock, the Concert Etude in C major, the Etude On the Seashore (one of Smetana’s most frequently played pieces), the Fantasia on Czech Folksongs and finally the early Etude in A minor.
