1 Piano 4 Hands/Later Elementary Level-Springtime Waltz is lyrical graceful and slightly sentimental making it a perfect ensemble piece for any time of the year.

In 1878 Dvorák was commissioned to write something along the lines of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances? but using the sounds of his native country. The resulting eight ?Slavonic Dances? led to hisinternational breakthrough. ?Furiant? ?polka? ?soudeská?: all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the ?Slavonic Dances? also became popularin orchestral arrangement they were originally written for Piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorák released for publication was anything but ideal. Now to honour the centennial of his death we are presenting hisoriginal version with a detailed commentary on the work?s sources and editorial problems. The fingering always a delicate matter in duet playing has been entrusted to Andreas Groethuysen with results that will prove a boon toperformers everywhere.

Easy arrangements for one piano and four hands of thirty four compositions including 'Careless Love' 'The Comedians' Galop' and famous Strauss waltzes.

It was the ?Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet? op. 46 which brought Antonín Dvorák 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 Dvorák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances?, Dvorák 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 ?Complete Edition of the Works of Antonín Dvorák?. The main sources are the first editions published by Simrock.'
