Few composers have achieved the widespread and lasting popularity of Antonin Dvořák. He was a master of instrumentation and symphonic form, composing a total of nine symphonies. His most celebrated work, Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" (composed during Dvořák's three-year stay in America), echoes the folk spirit of his native Czechoslovakia as well as American influences, and is filled with the spontaneous melodic invention, rhythmic variety, and intensity of harmony that characterize his orchestral works.The popular acclaim accorded the symphony "From the New World" tends to overshadow Dvořák's other symphonies, but Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians notes the "interesting...form...folk-spirit...virile serenity" of Symphony No. 8. The delightful freshness and uninhibited emotionalism of the composition have contributed to its lasting success. The Dover edition presents both symphonic masterpieces -- among the most popular works in the orchestral repertoire -- reprinted from authoritative editions in one inexpensive, practical volume.This full-size, easy-to-read score has been printed with generous margins to allow insertion of notes, analyses, etc. The sturdy binding, high quality of reproduction, and affordable price make this volume ideal for musicians, music students, and music lovers in general.

Originally composed in 1887 for soli, chorus and organ, Dvorak expanded this outstanding work in 1892 for a British concert featuring a large choir and full orchestra. The premiere was given on March 11, 1893 in London's Crystal Palace with August Manns conducting the Crystal Palace Choir and orchestra. The study score offered here is a newly researched and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. The large score and orchestral parts for this superb edition are also available from Serenissima Music.

Die Messe in D-Dur entstand 1887 in einer Fassung f³r Soli, Chor undOrgel. Auf Drõngen seines Verlegers instrumentierte Dvorßk das Werk 1892, wobei er in einigenDetails von der Erstfassung abwich, im wesentlichen aber an der urspr³nglichen Konzeptionfesthielt.In seiner Messe verband Dvorßk mit bescheidenen k³nstlerischen Mitteln Momentevolkst³mlicher Prõgung mit spõtromantischem Ausdruck. Die wenigen und leichten Gesangssoli,die auch von Choristen ³bernommen werden k÷nnen, machen das Werk f³r fast jedenKirchenchor attraktiv.Mit der vorliegenden Edition erscheinen erstmals Orgel- und Orchesterfassung der Messegleichzeitig in einer Ausgabe. Die Varianten beider Versionen sind kenntlich gemacht. Einegesonderte Orgelstimme ist in Vorbereitung.

Two of the composer's finest symphonies -- Symphony No. 6 in D and Symphony No. 7 in D Minor -- reproduced from the authoritative Simrock edition. Seventh symphony often considered his greatest achievement in the form.

Esteemed for their charm, the Czech master's chamber music compositions rank among his finest works. These five quartets were reproduced directly from the reliable, well-engraved Simrock editions under the composer's supervision.

Im Sommer 1894 unterbrach Antonín Dvorák seinen Aufenthalt in Amerika, um die Ferien in der böhmischen Heimat zu verbringen. In jenen glücklichen Wochen schrieb er die acht Humoresken für Klavier nieder. "Böhmisch", wie man vermuten könnte, ist die Musik jedoch keineswegs. Einiges Material skizzierte Dvorák nachweislich bereits in New York, zudem gibt es Hinweise, dass der Komponist zunächst an eine Reihe schottischer Tänze dachte. Eine internationale Musik also, mit einem ganz eigenen Tonfall. All das in mäßigem Schwierigkeitsgrad, der es Klavierspielern jeden Alters ermöglicht, über den Ohrwurm der Nr. 7 hinaus viel Neues zu entdecken. Die Henle-Urtextausgabe basiert auf dem Erstdruck, der von den Herausgebern sorgfältig anhand des Autographs überprüft wurde.

Dvoráks berühmte "Sinfonie aus der Neuen Welt" enthält Wendungen, die die Stimmung von "Indianermelodien" und Spirituals hervorrufen soll. Dazu zählen Pentatonik (Fünftonmusik) und synkopische Rhythmik. Auch in seiner Sonatine für Violine und Klavier op. 100, die er während seines ersten Amerikaaufenthalts zwischen 1892 und 1894 komponierte, blühen zarte Melodien aus dieser Klangwelt auf und machen die viersätzige Sonatine zu einem reizvollen Kammermusikwerk. Dvorák widmete das Werk seinen Kindern Otilie (15 Jahre) und Antonín (10 Jahre), so dass es auf das Können der jungen Pianistin und des kleinen Geigers abgestimmt ist. Jedoch schreibt Dvorák, "auch Große, Erwachsene, sollen sich damit unterhalten, wie sie eben können". Die sorgfältig ausgearbeitete Henle-Urtextausgabe mit einem ausführlichen Vorwort über die Quellenlage stützt sich auf das Autograph und die bei Simrock erschienene Erstausgabe.

Antonín Dvoráks Kammermusikschaffen umfasst mehr als vierzig Werke. Und dass er so rasch über die Grenzen Böhmens hinaus bekannt wurde, hat er nicht zuletzt vielen anspruchsvollen Musikliebhabern zu verdanken, die seine Werke gerne spielten. Im 19. Jahrhundert war häusliches Musizieren überall verbreitet. Auch Dvoráks Romantische Stücke für Violine und Klavier op. 75 waren zum Musizieren im privaten Kreis gedacht. Als Grundlage dieser Urtextausgabe zu op. 75 diente Dvoráks Autograph. Das Vorwort liefert viele Details zur Entstehungsgeschichte des Werks, das ursprünglich als Streichtrio konzipiert war. Als Herausgeber dieser Ausgabe konnte der Dvorák-Spezialist Milan Pospísil gewonnen werden.

The Carnival Overture, Op.92 - second of the set of three concert overtures originally entitled as "Nature, Life and Love", followed fast on the heels of its predecessor. Work started on July 28 and the piece was completed on September 12 of 1891. The first performance was given (along with its two companions) on April 28, 1892 in Prague's National Theatre with the composer conducting the resident orchestra. The original title of the overture was "Life" which was ultimately abandoned for the more poetic Karneval. The score offered here is a reissue of the 1955 critical edition of Frantisek Bartos and Antonin Cubr first published in the Dvorak complete works by the state publishing concern. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. IMSLP page Wikipedia article

The first of the three Slovanské rapsodie was composed from February 13 to March 17 of 1878 and received its premiere (along with the second) in Prague's Provisional Theatre on November 17 of the same year in a concert where Dvorak introduced himself as both composer and conductor. Rather than following a classical form, the rhapsodies were intended as absolute music to be enjoyed on their own terms, avoiding any external program. Though conceived as a set of three, the works have mainly been performed separately in the intervening years, which is actually somewhat in character with their independent nature. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the full score first published in 1959 by the Czech State Publishers as part of the Dvorak collected works, edited by Antonin Pokorny and Karel Solc. In contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available this one comes with all the pages with each image thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, then beautifully printed on quality stock with an attractive glossy cover.

Composed in the late summer of 1876, Dvorak's first effort at a full-blown concerto shows signs of an unusual amount of revision in the composer's hand - especially for the solo piano part. This might explain the delay in the concerto's premiere, which was given at the Provisional Theatre in Prague on March 24, 1878 with Karel Slavkovsky as soloist accompanied by the Provisional Theatre Orchestra under the baton of Adolf Cech. The composer himself wrote: "I see I am unable to write a Concerto for a virtuoso; I must think of other things."The ungainly solo part no doubt also played a role in the work's dely in publication, which didn't take place until 1883. Even after this, and despite much beauty in the music itself, performances were scarce due to the difficulty and charchter of the solo part. The solo part was revised heavily by the Czech pianist Vilém Kurz (1872-1945), whose version was premired by his daughter Ilona Kurzová and the Czech Philharmonic on December 9, 1919 and is the one most often performed today.This new study score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the full score first published in 1956 by the Czech State Publishers as part of the Dvorak collected works, edited by Jiri Berkovec and Karel Solc, which includes both the composer's original solo part and the re-arranged one made by Kurz. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. The matching large score and orchestral parts are now also available from Serenissima Music.
