Par SMETANA BEDRICH. Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) only began to devote himself intensively to the project of an original opera in Czech at the age of 38. The libretto of 'The Bartered Bride”, the second of Smetana's nine operas, was written for Smetana by the poet and journalist Karel Sabina. The subject chosen for the comic opera was the story of a pair of lovers in the countryside whose relationship is disapproved of by their parents. It is set during the festival at a village church anniversary. The final form of the work, which soon came to be regarded as a national opera, was preceded by a relatively difficult genesis. The opera was written between 1863 and 1865 and was premiered on 30 May 1866 at the Provisional Theatre in Prague, where the composer's last version of the work was also performed in 1870. This vocal score contains the musical text of the critical edition of Smetana's own vocal score. The newly-set edition contains both Czech and German vocal texts - the German singing translation is by Kurt Honolka. The newly-set and revised performance material for the entire opera, based on the critical edition by Frantisek Bartos, is available on hire. The vocal score replaces the old edition AE 112. - Urtext based on the critical edition of Smetana's own vocal score - A key work of modern Czech opera - New foreword by Marta Ottlová (Cz/Eng/Ger) - Includes singing translation by Kurt Honolka (Ger)/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Für Klavier. Par SMETANA BEDRICH. Smetana's piano sketch Macbeth, also known as Macbeth and the Witches, after William Shakespeare's tragedy, originated in 1859 while the composer was living in Sweden. Some scholars believe that it was meant to be scored for full orchestra. The work's dark and gloomy mood is connected with the death of Smetana's wife Katharina on 19 April 1859. Macbeth only appeared in print posthumously in 1912. It soon entered the piano repertoire, and in the course of the 20th century it was scored for orchestra by Otakar Jeremiáš and for piano and orchestra by Jarmil Burghauser. Our Urtext edition proceeds from the only surviving source, Smetana's pencil sketch. The editor has added as little as possible to the musical text in order to faithfully recreate the challenge of performing a sketch. Missing rests and rhythmic 'anomalies' have been left as in the autograph./ Répertoire / Piano
