Luboš Fišer: Dreams and Waltzes Béla Bartók: Romanian Dances, Op. 8a, BB 56 Igor Stravinsky: Valse pour les enfants Igor Stravinsky: Tango Frédéric Chopin: Mazurkas (selection) Bedřich Smetana: Czech Dances, Sets I and II (selection) Johann Sebastian Bach: Partita in B-flat major, BWV 825 Although the name Luboš Fišer (1935–1999) often brings to mind his film scores, he also garnered international acclaim as a composer of orchestral, choral, and chamber music. In addition to eight remarkable piano sonatas, he composed *Dreams and Waltzes* (1993) for the instrument; this work employs a postmodern approach, combining a Chopin-esque dreaminess with banal waltz melodies.
