Free Smetana Sheet Music

Bedřich Smetana, born in 1824 is a pivotal figure in classical music, often regarded as the father of Czech music. One of Smetana's crowning achievements is "Má Vlast" ("My Homeland"), a monumental cycle of six symphonic poems. Each poem represents a different aspect of Czech history, folklore, or landscape. "The Bartered Bride," a comic opera is another notable work. Set in a Czech village, it showcases Smetana's skill in creating lively and memorable melodies. The "Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 15" is another significant chamber work, imbued with passion and reflecting personal tragedies, including the death of Smetana's daughter.
