for Piano four hands-It was the Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet Op.46 which brought Anton n Dvo ák unexpected international fame. An unerring business instinct led Fritz Simrock at the beginning of 1878 to ask the Czech composer for some works for piano duet into which Dvo ák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s Hungarian Dances Dvo ák refrained from a literal portrayal of individual kinds of dance. As a result he created unique masterpieces of European music for domestic use and concert performance.This edition of both series of the Slavonic Dances is based on the CompleteEdition of the Works of Anton n Dvo ák. The main sources are the first editions published by Simrock. Separate editions of these works based on the Complete Edition of Anton n Dvo ák s Works vol.

Judith Weir's Day Break Shadows Flee for solo Piano.This 10 minute work was commissioned by BBC Radio 3. It was first performed by Benjamin Grosvenor on 1st September 2014 as part of the PromsChamber Music Series at Cadogan Hall.'Day Break Shadows Flee written for Benjamin Grosvenor is a Two-Part Invention a Piano solo composition in which the two hands work in close co-ordination butindependently. My intention was generally to avoid using thick chords (although octaves and other clear sonorities are included) while allowing both the right and left-hand lines to be free mobile and expressive. The treble andbass sectors of the keyboard are clearly contrasted and often widely separated. In atmosphere and expression the music is another kind of two-part invention contrasting bright upwards-arching phrases (heard at the opening andevoking the arrival of light at the beginning of the day) with veiled mysterious scurryings suggesting the stranger more nervous life lived at night and in the early morning.' - Judith Weir
