The same material is repeated in constantly varying configurations: no two bars have simultaneously the same number of instruments, direction of and number of discontinuities in the glissandi, number of crossings through the octave or unison between instruments. this last is the most important characteristic of the piece. many such crossing points are also punctuated by other instruments but with only, at best, approximate precision: simultaneity, pitch, dynamic, timbre and articulation are alle deviant to varying degrees. asidled. the context itself is fluctuating, only indirectly objective, everything relative.

Sooner or later theRomantic Pieceswill pave their way through all the salons: thus the periodical Dalibor predicted when theRomantic Piecesop. 75 were first issued by the publisher Simrock in 1887. Since then they have become some of Dvorak's most popular works for violin and piano. Now they are being made available for violists also.

Bella and Semjon Kalinowsky have arranged the four pieces on the basis of theComplete Edition of the Works of Antonin Dvorak. The piano part of the original version remains, while the violin part has been adapted for viola; it has been transcribed into the alto clef and includes fingering and bowing marks.

With their entrancing melodies and poetry, these pieces pose few technical challenges and are thus easy to play.
