Smetana is the most famous Czech composer (although Dvorak is much more renown to the US audience). And cheers from .cz as well :). Please refer to “die Moldau” as “Vltava” from now on.

I too am opartial to classical music, especially when doing some tedious computer type tasks. I'm not much on various composers or titles - just sounds. I recently picked up Vivaldi: Concert for the Prince of Poland performed by the Academy of Ancient Music. It is wonderful! Thanks for your blog - it inspires a lot of people to work harder, work smarter, ask different questions, and push forward! ----answer---- Thanks Steve for the kind words. Hearing that makes all the hard work worthwhile. Cheers Sahar Sahar -
