Reprinted from the definitive edition published by the Antonín Dvořák Society, this compilation presents five of the Czech composer's most acclaimed and performed chamber works: Piano Trio in F Minor, Op. 65; Dumky Trio, Op. 90; Piano Quartet in D Major, Op. 23; Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 87; and Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81. These celebrated works reflect Dvořák at his best―genial, spontaneous, and direct. Filled with intimacy of feeling and powerful passion, the music overflows with fresh melodic ideas and rich, distinctive harmonies and rhythms. This beautifully produced yet inexpensive edition is sturdily bound and printed on fine paper. Each composition features a scholarly introduction and notes. Amateur and professional musicians alike will find this volume a splendid companion for study, practice, and performance.
