Jitka Cechova (piano)About
Dedicated to various persons (including Kateřina Kolařova, Smetana’s great love and future wife) are the Stammbuchblatter, lovely commemorative album leaves. Some of the pieces (Romance in B flat major, Woodland Feelings and Impressions) were published immediately; others were revised by Smetana and published later.
Also dating from this period are the composer’s first larger virtuoso pieces (Allegro capriccioso, Caprice in G minor) and major work, the cycle Six morceaux caracteristiques, Op.1. Smetana sent the autograph to Franz Liszt, who accepted the dedication with pleasure.
Erinnerung an Weimar (Memory of Weimar) is a premiere recording – it was newly discovered in the Weimar archives.
The nimble hands of the pianist Jitka Čechova make ring the sheer virtuosity and engrossing poetics of the young Smetana’s piano works.
Recorded at the Martinek Studio, Prague in 2012.
