Dvořák: Works for Violoncello and Piano

Besides the famous Concerto in B minor Op. 104, Dvorák’s oeuvre includes four smaller, chamber music compositions for cello and piano: the Polonaise in A major, the Rondo in G minor Op. 94, an arrangement of the well-known Slavonic Dance in G minor from Opus 46 and the mood piece ‘Woodland Idyll’ (Klid). The new Wiener Urtext edition presents these four works all together in a single volume. For the preparation of this edition the Dvorák expert Klaus Döge has studied original manuscripts alongside corrected proofs and first editions, supported by reference to the orchestral and piano scores. Documented comments by the composer himself have provided an additional source of authentic suggestions for performance.
