Piano accompaniment backing tracks
There are two versions of this work, which differ quite significantly in places. This website includes accompaniment tracks for both versions, please contact me if you need any further information about this.The 'original' version by Smetana is the score which can be found at this link (on the IMSLP website). The 'shorter' version was arranged by Hans Sitt and omits several bars in both movements as well as simplifying it. That score can be found at this link (on the IMSLP website).
