Piano Quintet in A major op. 81. Very few really important works have been written for piano quintet ? alongside the famous works by Schubert, Schumann und Brahms, the quintet that Antonín Dvorák composed in 1887 certainly numbers amongst them. It shows the mature master at work, who knew how to combine formal unity with melodic ingenuity and sweeping rhythms. With its ethnic-inspired themes the piano quintet has become one of Dvorák?s best-loved chamber music works, indeed even of Romantic literature in music. So it was high time for a Henle Urtext edition ? 60 years after the Czech Complete Edition was published, it was time for a fresh look at the sources, including the autograph in the National Museum in Prague.

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.'

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. On 18 January 1887 Antonín Dvorák (1841–1904) started composing his Romantic Pieces for violin and piano, opus 75 (B 150), completing that version on 25 January. They were performed for the first time in a private house two days later, with the composer writing to his publisher in Berlin: ‘Played here yesterday and very well received.’ For this edition reference has been made to a copy of the original manuscript and to the first edition. The small number of bow markings in the violin part of the piano score are original and have been left unaltered. These four contrasting movements are a welcome addition to the violin repertoire and a very effective alternative to Dvorák’s large-scale violin works, the Concerto in A minor and Romance in F minor. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Violon et Piano

La réputation du compositeur Bohême Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) a toujours été quelque peu éclipsée par celle de Bedrich Smetana et Antonín Dvorák. C'est fort dommage, pour Fibich, bien qu'il est mort jeune, apporté une contribution tout aussi importante à l'émergent styl national tchèque avec son large éventail de compositions. Après le début des leçons de piano avec sa mère comme son premier maître, le garçon ensuite à l'école de musique à Prague, puis au Conservatoire de Leipzig, où il apprend son métier comme compositeur. Il passe quelques mois enseignement de piano à Paris et poursuit ses études avec Vinzenz Lachner à Mannheim. Prague a finalement pour devenir le centre d'activités musicales du Fibich : comme son rêve d'un poste au Conservatoire est resté déçus, son emploi principal était donner des leçons de musique privée et comme un compositeur Zdenek Fibich a écrit des oeuvres de nombreux genres musicaux : chant et musique de chambre, pièces pour piano et oeuvres orchestrales, opéras, musique de scène et mélodrames, récitals littéraires avec orc... / Flûte Traversière Et Piano

Piano Concerto g minor op. 33-Composé rapidement puis «fignolé» avec un soin méticuleux le Concerto pour piano en sol mineur de Dvorák est l?une des ?uvres majeures de la littérature pour piano tchèque. Le compositeur l?écrit en 1876 en deux mois à peine mais son travail de finition s?étend sur sept ans jusqu?au premier tirage. Rien d?étonnant donc à ce que la partition manuscrite de Dvorák soit surchargée de modifications et de corrections. Son autographe de 141 pages reflète de façon frappante ce travail de composition extraordinairement complexe: outre la notation initiale en effet il renferme diverses corrections effectuées au crayon au crayon rouge et bleu ou encore à l?encre rouge- en outre quelques passages sont recouverts d?une nouvelle version.La partition se trouvait jusqu?en 1990 en possession des héritiers de Dvorák. À l?instigation du pianiste András Schiff et grâce à son généreux appui financier nous présentons pour la première fois sous la forme d?une reproduction de grande qualité comparable dans les moindres détails à l?original le fac-similé complet de ce document musical. Il invite à découvrir et à revivre les différentes étapes du processus de composition. Et qui plus est c?est un cadeau idéal pour 2004 l?«année Dvorák» (? mais aussi bien sûr pour après ?).

g-moll Op. 33 B. 63-Composed in 1876 Dvorák’s only piano concerto has been overshadowed by his other two concertos for violin and violoncello respectively. Performers and editors have often attempted to upgrade this pianistically unassuming work by adding stylisations of their own. Our Urtext edition revaluates the sources frees the work from subsequent interventions and presents it to full advantage in its authentic form. The principal source of our new edition is the first complete print issued by the publisher Hainauer in 1883 which has been meticulously collated with the autograph. The anonymous original piano reduction is so full of mistakes that editor Robbert vanSteijn decided instead to present the version by Karel Šolc. - New Urtext edition of Dvorák’s only piano concerto - Foreword by Dvorák scholar David R. Beveridge (Eng/Cz/Ger) - Commentary on performance practice by Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek (Eng/Cz/Ger) - Piano reduction by Karel Šolc adapted to fit this new edition - Full score (BA10420) and two-piano reduction (BA10420-90) available for sale - Performance material (BA10420-72) available for hire

Features a new detailed foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) by Hans-Joachim Hinrichsen and Ivana Rentsch. Includes a newly-engraved Violoncello part.The third of Dvorák?s Piano trios was written in 1883 in Prague; a revised version appeared in the autumn of 1883 published by Simrock in Berlin based on the direct collaboration with the composer. The principal source of this present edition based on the ?Complete Edition of the Works of Anton n Dvorák? is this Simrock publication which presents the final version of the work.

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.
