Although some of his operas had success during his lifetime it is really only his final opera The Merry Wives of Windsor that has become a repertory item but with its storyline wit and an abundance of memorable tunes it is not difficult to understand why. It was a rousing success from its first performance on March 9 1849 and the bubbly overture is still especially popular.

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 his international breakthrough. “Furiant” “polka” “soudeská”: all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the “Slavonic Dances” also became popular in orchestral arrangement they were originally written for piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorák released for publication was anything but ideal. Now to honor the centennial of his death we are presenting his original 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 to performers everywhere.?
