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 ).

Anton n Dvo ák was a Czech composer. Following the nationalist example of Bed ich Smetana, Dvo ák frequently employed aspects, specifically rhythms,of the folk music of Moraviaand his native Bohemia. Dvo ák’s own style has been described as ‘the fullest recreation of a national idiom with that of the symphonic tradition, absorbing folk influences and finding effective ways of using them’

Composed in 1876, Dvorákâ??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 van Steijn decided instead to present the version by Karel Å olc.

Composed in the late summer of 1876, Dvorak's first effort at a full-blown concerto shows signs of an unusual amount of revision in the composer's hand - especially for the solo piano part. This might explain the delay in the concerto's premiere, which was given at the Provisional Theatre in Prague on March 24, 1878 with Karel Slavkovsky as soloist accompanied by the Provisional Theatre Orchestra under the baton of Adolf Cech. The composer himself wrote: I see I am unable to write a Concerto for a virtuoso; I must think of other things. The ungainly solo part no doubt also played a role in the work's dely in publication, which didn't take place until 1883. Even after this, and despite much beauty in the music itself, performances were scarce due to the difficulty and charchter of the solo part. The solo part was revised heavily by the Czech pianist Vilem Kurz (1872-1945), whose version was premired by his daughter Ilona KurzovA! and the Czech Philharmonic on December 9, 1919 and is the one most often performed today. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the full score first published in 1956 by the Czech State Publishers as part of the Dvorak collected works, edited by Jiri Berkovec and Karel Solc, which includes both the composer's original solo part and the re-arranged one made by Kurz. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
