💞 confluences abound … There is nothing that could be more evocative of the deeply felt love for the land. As the composition begins, the first rain drops fall gently but gather power as they form rivulets, then streams, now strong torrents of rushing water, and finally confluence in the mighty Vltava River itself that runs through the heart of Czechoslovakia and nourishes all of its people. The Shelests play from their hearts, together, as they plumb their unfathomably deep love of their own land and as we well recall that this banned immortal masterpiece was played in resistance to the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. Extraordinary! Amazing! Bravissimi & THANK YOU!

thank you for your kind words! I did not know about its history of being a symbol of national resistance. It is certainly one of the most stunning musical depictions of the homeland!

It is my honor, Maestri, to make commentary on your own “stunning” realization, of which I cannot seem to get enough. Further, I must say, IMHO, that it is highly unlikely that Smetana’s magnum opus has ever “flowed” more sweetly, with greater power, more mesmerizing virtuosity, or more passionate embrace than with your own, SIMPLY ASTOUNDING, magic.💞

I had been listening to the symphony version of this piece for years until recently I came across the piano version of it on KZfaq. It is equally fascinating! Your piano skills are spectacular!

thank you kindly! We were so thrilled to find this arrangement by Smetana himself of one of the beloved orchestra pieces!

Wonderful performance! I had no idea about just what a splendid composer Smetana was for the piano until fairly recently.

This piece is very difficut to play. The best interpretation I've heard so far. Calm and steady. And it "flows" well. Kudos.

@ShelestatthePiano Жыл бұрын

thank you, it is one of those pieces that comes together over time, the flow of it is difficult but that melody is sure worth it!

Such a beautiful piece of music, and what a wonderful piano duet arrangement! I wonder if this piece of music is playable for solo piano? I would like to learn it sometime.

@ShelestatthePiano 10 ай бұрын

this is Smetana's arrangement, I think there is a solo one but not by him. I would check out IMSLP library for it under the arrangements section
