The Vltava is considered a national symbol of the Czech Republic. It was made internationally famous by Bedřich Smetana's orchestral piece "Vltava" (the second movement of Má vlast), which musically depicts the river's course from its source to its confluence with the Elbe. In German, the river is called 'die Moldau'. When referring to the river as a geographical feature, use the definite article: 'the Vltava'.
