Though only a minor pendant to the great Cello Concerto, Antonin Dvorak's Rondo Op. 94 is an effective and entertaining piece that belongs in the standard repertoire of every cellist. Dvorak composed it in December 1891 shortly before leaving for America, and he gave the work its premiere performance on 3 January 1892 with his friend, the more...cellist Hanus Wihan, during his farewell concert tour. To produce this urtext edition Milan Pospisil consulted the autograph score and first edition not only for the piano version, but also for the orchestral version of October 1893. |
