Editing Má vlast (section)

=== Z českých luhů a hájů ===
Smetana finished composing this piece, commonly translated as "'''From Bohemia's Woods and Fields'''" or "'''From Bohemian Fields and Groves'''",<ref name=Baerenreiter/><ref name=Decca/> on 18 October 1875, and it received its first public performance nearly eight weeks later, on 10 December. A depiction of the beauty of the Czech countryside and its people, the tone poem tells no real story. The first part is dedicated to the grandeur of the forest with a surprising [[fugue]] in the strings, interrupted by a soft woodland melody of the horns, which is later taken over by the whole orchestra. In the second part, a village festival is depicted in full swing. This tone poem was originally written to be the finale of ''Má vlast''.
