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.
