2. Bedrich Smetana (March 2, 1824 Litomysl - May 12, 1884, Prague) was a Czech composer. Currently known for his cycle of symphonic poems My Country and operas, and Libuse Bartered Bride. The song originated in the Romantic period. QuoteIf you think that makes me special pleasure to praise the Bartered Bride, you are mistaken, it might almost seem that my other operas better understand - my strength and joy are quite elsewhere.
