Smetana's tone painting
In 'Vltava' (The Moldau), Bedrich Smetana uses a musical technique called tone painting, with swirling musical figures meant to sound like the water of two springs merging, eventually forming the Moldau River in the Czech Republic (Czechia). On today's show, we'll hear an arrangement of Vltava for two pianos from a concert presented by the Georgian Chamber Players.
