Composed in January–February 1875, Šárka is the third symphonic<br />
poem in Smetana’s six-part cycle Má vlast (My Fatherland). He first<br />
published it in a version for piano-duet issued by publisher Urbánek<br />
in 1880. The score of the first edition did not appear in print until<br />
1888, four years after Smetana’s death.<br />
Owing to the many errors in the first edition, Hugh Macdonald has<br />
based this new edition on the autograph score with annotations<br />
by Adolf Čech, who conducted the premiere on 17 March 1877. The<br />
autograph and print of the piano-duet version served as additional<br />
sources.<br />
• Classical masterpiece of Czech music in a new scholarly-critical<br />
edition<br />
• Follows on from Hugh Macdonald’s Urtext edition of Vltava<br />
(The Moldau)<br />
• Detailed Foreword by Smetana expert Olga Mojžíšová<br />
(Eng/Cz/Ger) and Critical Commentary by the editor (Eng)<br />
