Order number: BA11578.

The rich piano legacy of Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) mostly includes compositions requiring the skills of an advanced, if not professional, pianist. In the present album, which appears in the popular series "Light Piano Pieces and Dances", the technically rather lighter pieces of the composer have been put together, which allow an ideal introduction to the diverse piano world of Smetana. The album contains two much played concert pieces ("Memory" from the cycle "Sketches" op. 4 and the Polka in G minor from the cycle "Three Poetic Polkas" op. 8), but also lesser-known, smaller pieces written for different occasions (e.g. several "album sheets"). All compositions feature fingerings by renowned Czech pianist and Smetana performer Jan Novotný.
