The first of this final trio, The Kiss, written when Smetana was receiving painful medical treatment, is described by Newmarch as a work of serene beauty, in which tears and smiles alternate throughout the score.
Den første af disse, Kysset, som Smetana skrev, mens han modtog smertefuld medicinsk behandling beskrives af Newmarch som et værk af fredfyldt skønhed, hvor tårer og smil veksler gennem hele partituret.
