During his stay in America (September 1892 April 1895) Dvorák filled his sketchbooks with thematic concepts many of which he used soon after in the compositions he created there; others he retained unused. In the summer of 1894 he interrupted his American stay and spent most of the holidays at his favourite retreat in the village of Vysoká u Pr brame. In his moments of rest in his beloved Czech countryside the composer was struck with the idea to create a number of trifles for Piano and for these he used some of the thematic material from his recent two-year stay over the ocean.Thus began the cycle which he only later called?Humoresques? and which was published by Simrock immediately in the autumn of 1894. The seventh Humoresque was soon published in arrangements for all kinds of instruments and became one of his most popular pieces ever. The publication is part of the first Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Anton n Dvorák.

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 Moravia and 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?.The?Piano Concerto?for Piano and Orchestra in G minor Op. 33 was the first of three concertos that the Czech composer completed?it was followed by a Violin concerto and then a Celloconcerto?and the?Piano Concerto?is probably the least known and least performed.This Bosworth edition of the solo Piano part of Dvo ák?s?Piano Concerto?is a perfect addition of an underappreciated piece to any pianists repertoire.

Dvorák's Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylised composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvorák's Slavonic Dances that they made a real musician's heart laugh within him; the comment might equally well be applied to these pieces.These 'Waltzes and Mazurkas' rank alongside the works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit yet they are not widely known and have not hitherto been heard as often in concert halls as they deserve. The Urtext version of these dances is published for the first time in this edition. Contains:8 Waltzes Op. 546 Mazurkas Op. 56

Antonin Dvorak's Largo from the New World Symphony arranged for Piano Duet by Thomas Johnson.

Dvorak wrote to his Berlin publisher in 1889 informing them of the composition of the 'Poetic Tone Pictures' and adding 'You will like the compositions. Each piece has a title and is meant to describe something...' The titles of the different pieces give a good indication of the impulses which prompted Dvorak to write them: the intimate impressions and moods evoked by his enjoyment of the natural beauties of the Vysoka countryside where they were composed and recollections of its past. All this Dvorak has embodied in 13 pieces for Piano in which the freshness of music combines with the poetic perceptiveness of thethought-content and the colourful Piano setting.

Music Minus One Piano-Dvorak gave the piano a heavy involvement in this beautiful chamber work. The second movement is patterned after the Dumka dance form. Beautiful melodies wonderful orchestration. A quintet of rare quality. In short wonderful music! Includes a complete high-quality printed music score and a compact disc voluminously indexed for ease of practice containing a complete performance with soloist then performed again with accompaniments only minus you the soloist. Performed by Harriet Wingreen piano Accompaniment: Manhattan String Quartet

An Expedition into Czech Piano Music
A collection of pieces for early intermediate pianists
- Cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century
- Works selected and provided with fingering by piano virtuoso Ivo Kahánek
- Pieces of easy to moderate technical difficulty
The leading Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek has long devoted himself to training young musicians. With this album of recital pieces he offers young pianists quite easy pieces by well-known Czech composers.
The collection provides a cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century. It contains pieces from the Czech classical period (Benda and Dusík), 19th-century and ?fin-de-siècle? romanticism (Vorí?ek, Smetana, Dvorák, Fibich, Suk and Novák) as well as pieces of various styles from the latter half of the 20th century (Vre?tál, Kabelác, Eben, Slavický, Dlouhý and Sluka). Fingering has been supplied by the editor to support pianists in their playing. All the pieces appear in their original form; they have neither been arranged nor adapted.
