Reprinted from the definitive edition published by the Antonín Dvořák Society, this compilation presents five of the Czech composer's most acclaimed and performed chamber works: Piano Trio in F Minor, Op. 65; Dumky Trio, Op. 90; Piano Quartet in D Major, Op. 23; Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 87; and Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81.

Chamber Works for Piano and Strings (Dover Chamber Music Scores)

The two series of piano duets combined in this volume are among Dvořák's most famous compositions and among the most performed works in the piano four hands repertoire. The composer intended them as artistic stylizations of typical Slavonic dances such as the furiant, the dumka, the polka, the skočná, the odzemek, and the kolo. The first series of eight dances, Opus 46 (1878), is full of joy and vitality. The second set of eight dances, Opus 72 (1886), is slightly more somber and meditative. Both series will delight pianists with their exciting rhythms and fresh, highly individual invention. They are reprinted here from the authoritative Czechoslovakian editions of Dvořák's complete works.

While the immense popularity of Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," has somewhat overshadowed his other symphonic works, the two symphonies reprinted here are superb compositions in their own right. Indeed, the Symphony No. 7 in D Major is considered by many music authorities to be Dvořák's finest achievement in the symphonic form. Its strong, concise development, great emotional depths, and heroic spirit have won the work many admirers among critics and public alike. Regarding the Symphony No. 6, Grove's Dictionary has this to say: "The joyous Symphony in D Major, Op. 60, full of the fragrance and melody of the Czech fields and forests, full of light and cheerful courage, with the furiant in the scherzo, is a work of striking originality." This handsome, durable volume affords music lovers the opportunity to study these great scores, carefully and accurately reproduced from an authoritative German edition.

Symphonies Nos. 6 and 7 in Full Score (Dover Orchestral Music Scores)

This treasury of 33 works features all eight of the Humoresques, Op. 101, including the immensely popular No. 7 in G-flat Major; all 12 of the Silhouettes, Op. 8; four Slavonic Dances arranged for solo piano; four Poetic Tone Pictures; and five lively concert pieces — two mazurkas, a polka, a waltz, and the Furiant in D Major. All are reprinted from authoritative editions. Pianist Rudolf Firkusny completed his work on this important collection shortly before his 1994 death. This volume constitutes a continuation of his pioneering efforts to bring international recognition to the music of his native country, the former Czechoslovakia.

A great and lasting favorite in the vast symphonic literature, Antonín Dvořák's "New World" Symphony is among the composer's most enduring and appealing works, exceptionally popular worldwide ever since its premiere in 1893. The work rose out of the composer's three-year stay in the United States, blending echoes of American Indian impressions with music that reflects Dvořák's Bohemian homeland. Folksy, evocative, spontaneous, endlessly melodic, and rhythmically alive and inventive, his Symphony No. 9 is the composer at his very best and most characteristic. This work appears in full score with original instrumentation, bar-numbered movements, and ample margins at the bottom of each score page for notes and analysis. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, convenient-sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.

Symphony No. 9 (Dover Miniature Scores: Orchestral)

Influenced in his early compositions by Wagner and Liszt, Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) redirected his musical focus in his mid-thirties. Following the course charted by Smetana, he turned his attention to the rich reservoir of Czech music, and at the same time, returning to classical models, simplified and clarified his work. It was during this period that the melodic and delightfully fresh Czech character of his musical creations began to bring him worldwide attention. Serenade No. 1, Op. 22, for string orchestra, and Serenade No. 2, Op. 44, for winds, horns, and low strings — both composed in the late 1870s — are two of Dvořák's most popular and frequently performed works. These splendid pieces embody the qualities we have come to associate with the composer's most colorful and typical music — elegance of form, a wonderful blend of folk and classical harmony, rhythmic sweep and variety, and the emotional spirit of his country's native music. Reproduced from early editions, this new volume of music by the Czech master will be a welcomed addition to the score library of all music lovers.
