Suk, renowned as a violinist, left over 30 piano works throughout his life, including those that were not published. The 'Love Song' (Láska píseň) is the first piece in his Six Piano Pieces, Op. 7 (1891-93), written in his late teens. As evidenced by the fact that the sixth piece in this collection, 'Capricetto,' was originally written as Three Songs Without Words (1891), this collection inherits the tradition of Songs Without Words initiated by Mendelssohn, presenting six vocal-style piano pieces together. A more direct model can be found in the Dvořák's Six Piano Pieces, Op. 52. However, in contrast to Dvořák, who inherited Brahms's style, Suk's works interweave Wagnerian chromaticism and the urban, sophisticated coloristic flair reminiscent of Chabrier. The first piece, 'Love Song' (D-flat major, Adagio non troppo lento), begins with a sweet and poignant main section that frequently employs Wagnerian chromaticism. After a bright F major musical idea celebrates joy in the middle section, the main section returns. At this point, the accompaniment figure transforms into a dotted rhythm, like a heartbeat. And then, the 'Love Song' fades away into a dreamlike ppp.
