Village Serenade

Suk's Village Serenade belongs to his early works. The composer got back to it during the last months of his life. He adapted the serenade for a small instrumental orchestra (two clarinets, three violins, viola, violoncello and contrabass).

The composition was conceived for an ensemble in Suk's birthplace Krecovice. The dedication to amateur players led the composer to leave out difficult parts of the original piano version and to adapt the serenade to minimum demands on players. This version of Village Serenade is being published for the first time.
