Sound Czech:
“Sound Czech.” While the title is a good-natured pun, it also raises a question that has been asked repeatedly over the centuries during nationalist debates about music. Can a particular country have a singular “authentic” music? What does it mean to “sound Czech,” exactly? Dvoř.k’s Terzetto and Sextet and Klein’s String Trio demonstrate that despite the composers’ shared homeland, each had different reasons for making music and worked in radically different circumstances. Exploring what it means to “sound Czech” opens the door to the richness of music history and underscores the innate human need to make music, whether writing for domestic settings, striving to maintain a semblance of normalcy in horrific conditions, or keeping a piece of the past alive.
