Smetana’s Piano Reductions and How He Used Them

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

After briefly explaining what the term piano reduction means, the article deals with Smetana&apos;s piano arrangements of his own and other people&apos;s compositions originally written for different instrumentation and vocal parts. Arrangements of orchestral compositions for two and four pianos were intended for pedagogical purposes. The composer arranged some of his own instrumental works for piano four-hands alone with the goal of presenting the works through a printed edition to interested parties at home and abroad for study and performances. Smetana placed great importance on piano reductions for drawing the attention of the public and of other theatres to his operas. He arranged four of them himself: Prodaná nevesta (The Bartered Bride), Dalibor, Libuše, and Hubicka (The Kiss). His piano reductions strove to transcribe the orchestral writing as faithfully as possible for piano, and theywere primarily intended for study and for public performances. For the popularisation of his operatic music with the general public, Smetana also contributed his own arrangements of his overtures for piano four-hands, tried to get individual arias published, and even gave consent for the publication of medleys of his opera melodies.
