The piece desribes the course of Vltava (Moldau is German word for Vltava) throughout Bohemia 0:00 Springs of Vltava - the spring of the water gushes from the earth. The two flutes symbolize two streams, which comprise the early part of the river. 1:07 Vltava's theme - the two streams meet and the river starts. 3:11 Forest theme - the river snakes through the forests of Šumava. You can hear the hunters calling a hunt on a horn. 4:20 Wedding scene - Polka symbolizes a wedding in the fields that the river is a witness of. 5:34 Night scene - A night falls. In a forest glade, fairies dance in the moonlight. On near rocks, sit old castles and ruins. 8:51 Vltava's theme 9:50 St John's Rapids 11:08 Vltava's theme 11:37 Vyšehrad castle - the river pasess through Prague, already big and strong (picture in the video). Here we can hear part of another Smetana's piece "Vyšehrad". 12:30 Vltava is slowing - the Vltava river ends by flowing into Elbe river..... That's a rough translation of the masters words himself
