Overview
Experience the flowing majesty of Bedřich Smetana’s most famous symphonic poem, "Vltava" (The Moldau), the second movement from his monumental cycle Má vlast (My Fatherland). This authoritative pocket study score, published in 1987 by Editio Musica Budapest, is a quintessential resource for conductors, students, and enthusiasts of Romantic music. Edited by Antal Jancsovics, the score provides a meticulous and legible layout of the full orchestral parts.
"Vltava" is a masterpiece of program music, depicting the course of the Vltava river from its two small springs to its triumphant arrival in Prague. This A/5 format score allows for a deep analysis of Smetana’s evocative orchestration—from the bubbling flutes representing the river's source to the powerful brass fanfares of the Vyšehrad motive. It remains a staple for studying 19th-century nationalist musical structures.
Áttekintés
Élje át Bedřich Smetana leghíresebb szimfonikus költeményének, a "Moldvának" (Vltava) hömpölygő fenségét, amely a Hazám (Má vlast) című monumentális ciklus második tétele. Az Editio Musica Budapest 1987-es kispartitúrája elengedhetetlen forrás karmesterek, zenésznövendékek és a romantikus zene kedvelői számára. A Jancsovics Antal által gondozott kiadás precíz és jól olvasható formában mutatja be a teljes zenekari partitúrát.
A "Moldva" a programzene egyik mesterműve, amely a folyó útját festi le a két kis forrástól egészen a Prágába való diadalmas megérkezésig. Ez az A/5-ös formátumú kiadvány lehetővé teszi Smetana szuggesztív hangszerelésének részletes elemzését – a forrást jelképező gyöngyöző fuvoláktól a Vyšehrad-motívum erőteljes rézfúvós fanfárjaiig. A 19. századi nemzeti romantikus zenei formák tanulmányozásának alapműve.
