About this item
Dvorák, firmly convinced of his love for one of the daughters of the
Cermák family, probably the older Josefina, wrote his first song cycle
“Cypresses” in 1865 when he had just turned 24. Even though his
arrangement for string quartet is one of the best-known works today, the
original version of the songs of 1865 remained in manuscript form until
now.
This first ever Urtext edition is based on the autograph.
Later versions as well as the printed collection of poems by Pfleger
from 1862 were also drawn upon as sources. The musical text is
accompanied by an instructive introduction written by the Dvorák scholar
David Beveridge.
• First ever Urtext edition of an early work by Dvorák
• With translations of the song texts (Eng/Ger)
• Detailed introduction by David Beveridge (Eng/Ger/Cz) and a critical commentary (Eng)

Composer
Antonin Dvorák (1841-1904)
Antonín Leopold Dvořák (September 8, 1841 – May 1, 1904) was a Czech composer of late Romantic music, who employed the idioms of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia. Dvořák’s own style is sometimes called "romantic-classicist synthesis". His works include symphonic, choral and chamber music, concerti, operas and many of other orchestral and vocal-instrumental pieces. His best-known works include his New World Symphony, the Slavonic Dances, "American" String Quartet, the opera Rusalka, Cello Concerto in B minor and choral works Stabat Mater, Requiem, Op. 89 and Te Deum.
