Smetana, Bedrich [Friedrich]. (1824 - 1884) . "Souvenir de Bohême en forme de Polkas. Op. 13." - PRESENTATION COPY TO REMENYI. Prague: Schalek & Wetzler. [1865]. Opus 13. No. 1 & 2. Upright folio. Title; 13 pp. Inscribed on the titlepage from the distinguished Czech composer to the eminent Hungarian violin virtuoso, Eduard Reményi "À son ami / Ed. Reményi. / Souvenir de son séjour à Prague / Fréd. Smetana“. Light dampstaining and scattered foxing, wrapper corners chipped, reinforced along spine, generally very good. Some pencil revisions and musical notation within, possibly in the hand or Remenyi.
Edouard Reményi (1828-1898). Hungarian violinist, court violinist of Queen Victoria and the early sonata partner of Johannes Brahms whom he is credited with "discovering" in a Vienna café. Smetana had known Remenyi very well since they had performed together in Prague in 1864. Smetana was his guest in Budapest in the summer of 1865, when the present publication was issued and it is likely that it was on that occassion that the composer inscribed this copy. Interestingly, it was in some respects a frustrating visit for Smetana, as Remenyi was very reluctant to introduce him to Liszt, after which "Remenyi had to behave as though he too revered me." (Smetana's Diary, August, 1865, "Letters & Reminiscences," p. 92)
