New Urtext edition with clear and uncluttered engraving.
Informative foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger) including a contribution by Smetana scholar Olga Mojž šová.
Includes a detailed Critical Commentary(Eng).
Vltava (The Moldau) is Smetana’s most famous and frequently performed tone poem. It was written between 20 November and 8 December 1874, but only in 1879-1880, with the completion of theentire cycle Má vlast did it appear in print, when Urbánek issued it in full score and a version for Piano duet.
Owing to the large number of misprints in the Urbánek first edition, Hugh Macdonald has based his new editiononthe autograph score, with cross-references to the first edition and the composer’s own version for Piano duet. Conflicting readings in the sources are listed in the Critical Commentary along with a discussion of all editorialdecisions.
Version for Piano duet BA 9549.
