Dvorak composed this deservedly popular work 1878 shortly after the
premiere of his opera "The Cunning Peasant." Scored for a
'harmonie' ensemble of 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns
and contrabassoon, with an cello and string bass added to support
the bass line. The composer conducted the premiere on November 17,
1878 in a concert of his music held in Prague's Provisional
Theatre. Published early the next year, it has been in the
repertoire ever since. The score offered here is a reissue of the
1956 critical edition of Frantisek Bartos. 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 of each sale is
donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and
recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.
Dvorak had long refused the repeated requests for a cello concerto
from his friend, the renowned cellist Hanus Wihan (1855-1920) until
he attended the premiere of Victor Herbert's second concerto in New
York in the fall of 1894 during his tenure as director of the
National Conservatory. The second movement of Herbert's concerto
was in B minor, which might have been a factor in Dvorak's choice
of the same key for his own concerto, which was started in New York
on November 8, 1894 and completed on February 8 of the following
year. Despite the dedication to Wihan, the first performance was
given by the English cellist Leo Stern in London's Queen's Hall on
March 19, 1896 with the composer conducting the London
Philharmonic. This new study score is a reprint of the critical
edition prepared by Fratisek Bartos for the Collected Works issued
by the Czech State Publisher in 1955. 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 of each sale is

Dvorak received a commission for this work in 1877 for a benefit
concert to raise funds for the construction of a new church in
Prague. Composed between August 6 and 28 September, it was first
performed on December 2 at the Provisional Threatre, with the
orchestra conducted by Ludevit Prochazka as the composer's opus 40.
It would be eleven years before the work was first published
however, and Dvorak's publisher Simrock assigned the opus number of
78 to imply they were bringing out a new work. The work entered the
symphonic repertoire gradually after its 1888 publication and
remains extremely popular today. The score offered here is a
reissue of the 1957 critical edition of Frantisek Bartos and Jiri
Berkovec. 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 of each sale is donated to the amazing online

Composed over the space of just 12 days (May 3-14, 1875), Dvorak's
five-movement serenade has been a favorite since its first
performance was given in Prague under the baton of Adolf Cech with
the combined string sections of the orchestras of the Czech and
German theatres. The new study score offered here is a
digitally-enhanced reprint of the score first issued in 1955 as
part of the Dvorak complete works by the Czech State publishing
house SNKLHU, edited by Frantisek Bartos. Available now for the
first time in an affordable, easy-to-read size. As with all
Petrucci Library Press scores, a percentage of each sale is
contributed to support the award-winning free wiki for music scores
