Trio-The musical term 'Dumka' originates from the Ukrainian language and means 'an epic ballad ? generally thoughtful or melancholic in character'.Dvorák?s magnum opus in the Piano trio genre takes its name from its ?Dumka? movements which he composed whilst in Prague in 1890-91. After long hesitation he finally prepared a Piano reduction while he was in the United States in the summer of 1893. The previous year Dvorák had played the work on a forty-concert farewell tour of Bohemia with Ferdinand Lachner and Hans Wihan.The editor of this Barenreiter edition Christoph Flamm took the Simrock print as his starting point. However he alsocarefully distinguished between the various reissues and consulted Dvorák?s sketches as well as his Piano reduction. A Critical Commentary provides detailed information on the work?s sources tempo markings and formal divisions of the movements.Urtext edition reflecting the latest musicological researchDetailed preface (Ger/Cz/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editorContains previously unknown music (draft version of Dumka no. 3)Replaces earlier edition H1551

Fragments K. 442-Mozart often began work on a composition only to put it aside unfinished. Some of these fragments contain wonderful music as is proved by these three Piano trio fragments. Mozart composed them at different times as individual movements though the posthumous first edition brought them together as a supposedly new and unknown Piano trio by the composer and on this basis they were given the number ?442? in Köchel?s catalogue. The first edition used completions by Mozart?s friend Abbé Maximilian Stadler that were stylistically correct but possessed little originality. This Henle Urtext edition offers both these versions andnewly-composed highly rewarding completions by Robert D. Levin.
