The great Czech composer is well known for his operas (Jenufa, Katja Kabanova),
but he also wrote a good deal of very idiomatic piano music. His set of
12 Moravian Folk Dances for piano four-hands explores the different dances of
his native region, Moravia. These tiny miniatures are elegant,
refined and often humorous. Michael Cansfield
