| Antonín Dvo?ák: Slavonic Dances Op. 46 For Piano Four-hands: Piano Duet:In 1878 Dvorák was commissioned to write something along the lines of Brahms s Hungarian Dances but using the sounds of his native country. The resulting eight Slavonic Dances led to hisinternational breakthrough. Furiant polka soudeská : all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the Slavonic Dances also became popularin orchestral arrangement they were originally written for Piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorák released for publication was anything but ideal. Now to honour the centennial of his death we are presenting hisoriginal version with a detailed commentary on the work s sources and editorial problems. The fingering always a delicate matter in duet playing has been entrusted to Andreas Groethuysen with results that will prove a boon toperformers everywhere.
