Notes on Czech folk songs

Czech folk songs are relatively strict and neat in structure. The tunes are often composed of four bars as a unit and are relatively symmetrical; the rhythm is also relatively regular; the harmony is basically composed of major triads.

Czechoslovakia was a republic that existed from October 28, 1918 to December 31, 1992. Historically it was composed of three regions: Czech Republic, Slovakia and Moravia. After the Velvet Revolution, the Czechoslovak Federal Republic disintegrated and became two independent countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, on January 1, 1993. Czechoslovakia is located in central Europe, covering an area of ??127,900 square kilometers. It borders the Soviet Union to the east, Hungary and Austria to the south, the German Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic to the west, and Poland to the north. Due to its long-term status, the development of its music culture is closely related to the politics, religion and culture of neighboring countries. Czech music is more influenced by Western Europe.
