The author has for many years interested himself in Czech music and is well known for his research on Dvorak. He unravels the complex strands of the controversies to which Smetana's work gave rise, and with the help of quotations from letters and documents presents a portrait of the man and a balanced assessment of his works. He convincingly demonstrates that it is the operas that form the central core of Smetana's creative achievement. Appendices include a complete catalogue of works and a select bibliography.

For slightly over two decades, the College Band Directors National Association published the CBDNA Journal, a research outlet for all types of subjects of interest to the membership. Following cessation of activities in 2002, Michael Votta, Jr., the Journal's most recent editor, assembled representative articles on composers and their works, historical research and composition analysis investigations, and produced this fine collection of writings. As a source of well-constructed research by some of the country's leading musicians, it fills a much needed place in everyone's library.
