In G Major. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The performance material available up till now for Dvorák’s sun-filled cheerful Symphony No. 8 has been notorious for its myriad mistakes. The challenge of correcting it has now been taken over by the editor Jonathan Del Mar. He has taken into account the engraver’s copy, which was actually discovered in a rubbish bin at Novello’s in 1964. Its title page bears the words “Copied from my original manuscript” in Dvorák’s hand. This source proves that many of the readings contained in the first edition and faithfully adopted in all subsequent editions, were simply slips of the copyist’s pen. This new edition with score and orchestral parts in an enlarged format is accompanied bya detailed Critical Commentary on the sources and alternative readings. It also contains important facsimile pages to clarify problematical readings. Score and orchestral parts in an enlarged format Informative Foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) on sources and alternative readings With facsimile pages/ Répertoire / Violoncelle (Partie Séparée)

Groupe Ii. Par FOLGNAND GUNTER. Dans sa préface, le compositeur écrit: 'L'idée originale de la composition a été de: 7 tons entiers, 7 battements (premier mouvement), 7 joueurs Il en est résulté une oeuvre pour trois groupes de chaînes de caractères suivantes tons entiers sur C et F: Etapes ! '. Ce travail est impressionnante structuré avec son bruit de chaîne sonore, à certains moments, la musique est tout à fait spectaculaire, il montre les aspects de la période romantique tardive, tout en étant modérément moderne. Cette pièce fait de grandes exigences sur les compétences rythmiques de joueurs et le conducteur aussi bien. Günter Folgnand, né à Berlin en 1930, était premier violon dans le Radio Sinfonie Orchester de Francfort. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Violoncelle (Partie Séparée)

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. 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, Dvorák used a copy of the score which he had personally examined and which later served as the engraver's copy. The Dvorák scholar Klaus Döge 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 Dvorák's conducting workshop. It served as the principal source for the Breitkopf Urtext edition./ Répertoire / Violoncelle (Partie Séparée)
