Nope: Smetana, in "The Moldau", steals what was either a local (Chezch?)
folk tune or a local Jewish folk tune, messes around with the key its in to
make it sound "more uplifting", rearranges it a bit, & puts his name on it.
Typical story. When classical composers wanted something with ethnic
flavor they usually just swiped something from the local ethnics, but many
did acknowledge their sources. I don't know about Smetana.
