Smetana's Prague Carnival Arranged by Václav Talich
Original language description
The present study introduces a previously unknown arrangement of Smetana's last completed orchestral composition, Prague Carnival (1883), which for many years was perceived and interpreted as evidence of the decline of the composer's creative powers. Although this view has gradually changed since the late 1890s, thanks mainly to the efforts of Josef Theurer, the work has appeared on concert stages only very rarely and almost always in the arrangement of Karel Kovařovic, whose instrumental retouches have considerably altered Smetana's original sound idea.As the incidental discovery of a copy of the score of Prague Carnival in the Czech Radio archives shows, in addition to Kovařovic, Václav Talich also intervened significantly in the work and conducted his own version of Prague Carnival and even recorded it with the Czech Philharmonic and the Czech Radio Orchestra long after Smetana's original score was available in Otakar Zich's critical edition. In addition to Talich's specific interventions in the work, the study also outlines the problematic reception of the composition, which even today - 200 years after the composer's birth - is considered more or less a rarity and as such is only occasionaly performed.
