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 Vilem Kurz (1872-1945), whose version was premired by his daughter Ilona KurzovA! 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. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.

The serenade flourished in Mozart's era, but with Brahms the genre experienced a new surge in popularity in the 19th century. Dvorák's cheerful and relaxed op. 22 came into being in 1875, during a very happy time for him both professionally and privately. Heput his personal stamp on the five-movement composition by incorporating stylized Slavonic dances. The spirited finale captivates by restating themes from the previous movements. Since its premiere in 1876 the work, with its melodic richness and particular harmonic modulations, has enjoyed great acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Today it is among Dvorák's most popular and most frequently performed compositions. As well as the autograph and printed editions, the composer's copy of the printed score with autograph corrections and additions has been consulted for Henle's Urtext edition.

Composed in 1876, Dvorákâ??s only piano concerto has been overshadowed by his other two concertos, for violin and violoncello, respectively. Performers and editors have often attempted to upgrade this pianistically unassuming work by adding stylisations of their own. Our Urtext edition revaluates the sources, frees the work from subsequent interventions and presents it to full advantage in its authentic form.The principal source of our new edition is the first complete print issued by the publisher Hainauer in 1883, which has been meticulously collated with the autograph. The anonymous original piano reduction is so full of mistakes that editor Robbert van Steijn decided instead to present the version by Karel Å olc.

Antonin Dvorak penned his Stabat mater op. 58 in the years 1876 and 1877. The first performance took place in Prague on 23 December 1880. The first edition (score and piano vocal score) was published by Simrock (Berlin) in 1881.Breitkopf & Hartel's Urtext edition comprises the complete performance material including the piano vocal score and choral score. Through the arrangement by Josef Zubaty, the piano vocal score offers the sole authentic and historically legitimated music text, the one that Dvorak himself commissioned for the world premiere.The unique stature of Breitkopf's new edition of Dvorak's Stabat mater can easily be nailed down by three superlatives: * It is the only edition with a historically legitimated piano-vocal score. Josef Zubaty's arrangement is the only authentic reduction, and was commissioned by Dvorak himself for the world premiere. (The composer never made a reduction of this work himself.)* It is the only edition with a choral score.* It is thus the first text-critical edition that goes beyond the source findings presented in the Dvorak Complete Edition and which can be used for performances with a material that can be purchased in its entirety. ,,Guter Druck, gutes Papier, ubersichtlicher Notensatz. Wie immer ein Kompliment an und fur B&H! Die sorgsam aufeinander abgestimmten Teile der Neuausgabe erleichtern die Arbeit. Wenn nicht schon Auffuhrungsmaterial vorhanden ist, so sollte unbedingt zu dieser Ausgabe gegriffen werden.

Dvorak's Requiem is one of the Czech composer's great sacred works and one of the greatest Requiem settings in music history.
ISBN 9790004341872. 10 x 12.5 inches.
The profound impression it makes on us is due in part to the sequence of variations on a death motif that seems to have been borrowed from the beginning of the second Kyrie from Bach's Mass in B minor. Written in 1890, it was commissioned by the publisher Novello for the Birmingham Music Festival and premiered there under the direction of the composer on 9 October 1891. For this performance, Dvorak used a copy of the score which he had personally examined and which later served as the engraver's copy. The Dvorak scholar Klaus Doge succeeded in tracking down its location and evaluating this important source for the first time. It contains the Fassung letzter Hand and, moreover, offers valuable insights into Dvorak's conducting workshop. It served as the principal source for the Breitkopf Urtext edition.Dvorak's Requiem is one of the Czech composer's great sacred works and one of the greatest Requiem settings in music history.
