Klicka's most frequently played work, Fantasia on the Symphonic Poem Vysehrad by Bedrich Smetana, which has never gene down well with musical purists, is not just a document of his time but genuinely attractive to audiences to this day.
The program includes a piano quartet by Gabriel Faur; two harp duets featuring music by George Gershwin and Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz; a trio by Aram Khatchaturian for violin, clarinet, and piano; a piano trio by Bedrich Smetana, and a scene from Gioacchino Rossini's opera "The Barber of Seville.
Examples that were widely-known in their own time and remain in the repertory to this day include The Moldau, by Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884), which celebrates the beauty of a river in what is now the Czech Republic; Iberia Suite, by Issac Albeniz (1860-1909), which incorporates characteristic rhythms and melodic figures from various regions in Spain; and Peer Gynt Suite, by Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), which evokes Norwegian folklore.
