Dvořák, A.: Romanze Op. 11 f-Moll

First ever publication of the edition for violin and piano, based on the autograph, edited by JonᚠHájek. Difficulty: advanced.

Originally written for violin and orchestra between 1873 and 1877, Antonín Dvořáks »Romance« immediately followed his String Quartet in F minor (1873) and draws on the theme from its slow movement. He probably wrote the »Romance« for his friend, the violin virtuoso Františšek Ondříček, who later premiered Dvořáks Violin Concerto in 1883.

Bärenreiter's edition is the first to avail itself of the recently rediscovered autograph of Dvořáks own version for violin and piano. Compared to the well-known piano reductions, it differs from the orchestral version in several important respects and is also one bar shorter.
The new edition, containing the composer’s more authentic version, can nevertheless also serve as a piano reduction to the orchestral version.
