For Bedrich Smetana, the polka was the source of typical Czech music par excellence. We do not only find it in his operas, symphonic works and chamber music, but he also wrote single or separate polkas. Smetana's first polkas were written when he was still a student and they were composed for dancing. This is also the case for this polka Aus dem Studentenleben' (Pictures of a student's life). It was originally written for piano. It is cheerful music with a lot of variety and, above all, a typical Czech character.

[FR]
Pour Bedrich Smetana la polka était la source de la musique typique tchèque et on la retrouve non seulement dans ses opéras, sa musique symphonique et sa musique de chambre mais également toute seule comme composition indépendante. Les premières polkas de Smetana, datant de ses années d'étudiant étaient destinées à la danse, comme par exemple cette polka « Aus dem Studentenleben » (De la vie estudiantine). Il s'agit de musique joyeuse, très variée et typiquement tchèque, écrite pour piano.

De polka was voor Bedrich Smetana de bron van de typische Tsjechische muziek. Hij komt niet alleen in zijn opera's, symfonische werken en kamermuziek, maar ook zelfstandig voor. Smetana's eerste polka's uit zijn studiejaren waren voor de dans bestemd, waaronder deze Aus dem Studentenleben. Ze zijn gecomponeerd voor piano. Vrolijke muziek, vol afwisseling en typisch Tsjechisch van karakter.
