The two works for chamber music by B. Smetana and A. Dvorak present many folk
and popular elements, filtered through the compositional techniques of sopor
and Brahmsian conception. Both composers, unlike the Russians, recover the
spirit of the popular song not by copying it, but by reinventing new melodies on
the model of folk music. In this sense, they do not remake or restate from the
elaboration of truth, but create artistically original formal stylizations.
