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.

Choosing an edition of this celebrated violoncello concerto has always posed a dilemma: they were based either on the first edition, which was not given a final authorization by Dvorak, or solely on the autograph, which does not represent the final version in many instances. This was the case with the Dvorak Complete Edition of 1955, for example. Klaus Doge has critically re-examined all the surviving sources. His research has yielded a new, text-critical edition that meticulously evaluates the many, often contradictory readings that create discrepancies between the autograph and the first edition. In the conclusions he draws for performance practice, Doge generally gives priority to the first edition. However, he does not smooth out Dvorak's special notation, such as Dvorak's publisher Simrock did in his day. Doge's edition also shows that the musical text is not as authenticated as has been suggested by previous editions. Variants have occasionally been notated on a second staff at several passages, particularly in the solo part. The piano reduction, which was prepared by the composer himself, has been edited according to text-critical criteria for the first time as well. Doge was able to rely on a renowned performer for this part of his work: Heinrich Schiff, who arranged the solo part and provides valuable interpretative tips in his commentaries on performance practice.

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. (Kurt-Ludwig Forg, Kirchenmusik)
