The Moldau, Czech Vltava, symphonic poem by Bohemian composer Bedand#345;ich Smetana that evokes the flow of the Vltava River?or, in German, the Moldau?from its source in the mountains of the Bohemian Forest, through the Czechcountryside, to the city of Prague. A devoutly patriotic work, The Moldau captures in music Smetana?s love of his homeland. Completed in 1874 and first performed the following year, the piece constitutes the second movement of a six-movement suite, M� vlast (My Country), which premiered in its entirety in Prague on November 5, 1882.

This arrangement for string quartet includes the following parts: Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello.

This is the complete third suite of The Water Music by Handel arranged here for string quartet. This suite is a brilliant example of some of the best baroque music ever written. Split into 7 movements, each with a fantastic variety of moods and textures. This is perfect music for both recital and background purposes.

The parts are equally challenging, with interest for each part throughout making it a satisfying and enjoyable arrangement to perform and listen to.
