The first performance of Má vlast as a six-part symphonic cycle took place on 5 November 1882. With the founding of the Czech Philharmonic in 1896 this work received a far greater reception. Since 1952 the music festival Prague Spring has opened with this complete cycle. This edition is based on the Study Edition of the Works of Bedrich Smetana , vol. 14, supplemented by an up-to-date detailed foreword about the genesis and history of the work by Marta Ottlová.
