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

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.
