Serenade for string orchestra, Op 6

Available for over a year

Suk wrote his serenade at the suggestion of his teacher Dvorak. It was Suk’s first great success with long tuneful melodies. Czech folk tunes are suggested throughout – but never used. It is an attractive work which deserves to be better known.
