In 'Má Vlast' kombinierte Smetana die Form von einem symphonischen Gedicht - von Franz Liszt bedacht- mit den Idealen der nationalistischen Musik, die man in Tsjechien am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kannte. Jedes Gedicht beschreibt eine Anzahl Aspekte von der Landschaft, der Geschichte oder den Sagen und Legenden von Böhmen.
