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
archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music
Library.
