Overview

Delve into the fierce and tragic world of Czech mythology with Bedřich Smetana’s third symphonic poem from his legendary cycle Má vlast (My Fatherland): "Šárka". This authoritative pocket study score, published in 1989 by Editio Musica Budapest, is a vital resource for conductors, music students, and scholars of Romantic music. Edited by the distinguished Antal Jancsovics, the score offers a clear, high-fidelity view of Smetana's most aggressive and dramatic orchestral writing.

"Šárka" depicts the ancient legend of the Maiden's War. The music follows the titular heroine as she swears vengeance on all men, lures the knight Ctirad into a trap, and leads a bloody nighttime massacre of his warriors. This A/5 format score allows for a detailed analysis of Smetana’s storytelling through music—from the wild opening passages to the eerie clarinet solos and the final, thunderous orchestral explosion.

Áttekintés

Merüljön el a cseh mitológia vad és tragikus világában Bedřich Smetana legendás Hazám (Má vlast) ciklusának harmadik szimfonikus költeményével: "Šárka". Az Editio Musica Budapest 1989-es kispartitúrája elengedhetetlen forrás karmesterek, zenésznövendékek és a romantikus zene kutatói számára. A Jancsovics Antal által gondozott kiadás világos és hiteles képet ad Smetana legdrámaibb és legagresszívabb zenekari művéről.

A "Šárka" a Leányháború ősi legendáját dolgozza fel. A zene követi a címszereplő bosszúját, ahogy csapdába csalja Ctirad lovagot, majd véres mészárlást rendez harcosai között. Ez az A/5-ös formátumú kiadvány lehetővé teszi Smetana zenei történetmesélésének részletes elemzését – a vad nyitánytól az éjszakai jelenet baljóslatú klarinétszólóin át a záró, mennydörgő zenekari robbanásig.

Interesting Facts

  • A Story in Music: Smetana provided a detailed program for this work, explaining that the music illustrates Šárka's fury, the arrival of Ctirad's horn fanfares, the drunken slumber of the soldiers, and the final massacre.
  • Vocalism in Orchestration: The "conversation" between the solo clarinet (representing Šárka) and the solo cello (representing Ctirad) in the middle of the poem is one of the most famous examples of instrumental dialogue in Romantic music.
  • Nationalist Masterpiece: Like the rest of the cycle, "Šárka" was composed after Smetana had lost his hearing, showcasing his incredible internal "inner ear" for orchestral color.
  • Editorial Excellence: Antal Jancsovics, a prominent Hungarian conductor and pedagogue, ensured this 1989 edition is both an analytical tool and a practical guide for orchestral study.
