A great Czech composer, Bedrich Smetana had a significant
influence on the creation of artistic and musical nationalism in
his native country. Smetana was one of the founders of the Czech
national opera. In his operas and symphonic poems Smetana used
the national legends, history and ideas. Smetana’s style was
very original and often very dramatic. Smetana became deaf, but
continued to compose until the end of his life. More Smetana
