Josef Suk’s symphonic Poem Prague is one of his most noteworthy works. Conceived in rhapsodic form, it is a display of romantic nationalism as it evokes ancient themes like a Hussite chorale and Battle Scene, as well as a love theme for Suk’s wife. Its ending is, according to Suk, a celebration for the Eternal Prague.
El poema sinfónico Praga de Josef Suk es una de sus obras más notables. Concebido en forma de rapsodia, es un despliegue de nacionalismo romántico al evocar temas antiguos como un Coral Husita y una escena de Batalla, así como un tema de amor para la esposa de Suk. El final de la pieza, de acuerdo con Suk, es una celebración de la Praga Eterna.

La esposa de Suk era la hija de Dvorak...
I must refute a myth that the main theme of this symphonic poem is a variation on the famous Hussite chorale. This assumption was spread early after the first performance but Suk himself denied it. In fact, the theme shares only one characteristic rhythmic element with the Hussite chorale, the melody has nothing to do with it otherwise. That rhythmic element may have been subconsciously inspired by the Hussite motif, such context is possible here, but the theme is not intentionally based on the Hussite chorale.
lyricaltones The Hussites are, however, reminded at the end of the middle section as an image of Jan Žižka intending to invade Prague. Jan Rokycana persuades him not to do it, describing him suggestively the beauty of Prague. This scene is inspired by the poem by Svatopluk Čech. It's somewhat surprising that the threatening melody of the approaching Hussite army is taken from Suk's impressionistic piano piece At Noon (14:46).
lyricaltones Thanks for clarifying the myth. If possible, can you give us the source?
Past_notes I found it in the study written by the Czech musicologist Bohumír Štědroň who knew Suk personally. It's a study about folksongs in Suk's music and it was published in 1935 (Josef Suk: život a dílo, studie a vzpomínky, edited by J. M. Květ).
lyricaltones Thank you very much!
lyricaltones Strange then that it so clearly comes to mind when hearing it.
I do not know the original version but I do know Smetana's "Blanik" and Dvorak's "Husitska" and I immidiately made the connection to them when hearing Suk's work.
