Zemlinsky QuartetAbout
Smetana's two string quartets could be said to be the first programmatic chamber music pieces ever written. The First Quartet is a remarkable work with a very strong connection to Czech musicians. It belongs among the real treasures of Czech chamber music. The main characteristic of the Second Quartet is its intensity of musical ideas, as the composer was deaf and close to the end of his life. The Dance of Comedians illustrates the famous era of Smetana's being considered the Czech national composer.
