About this item
Probably the best known movement of all from any of Dvorak's symphonies, this beautiful Largo is still popular despite being used repeatedly in TV advertisements, film soundtracks and many other ways. This edition is reasonably faithful to the original score, except that the clarinets here are in Bb throughout (they change between Bb and A in the original), the horns in F (rather than E and C) and the trumpets in Bb (rather than E). The cor anglais part is cued into the oboe part and you could probably get away without a cor anglais although several sections are uncomfortably low for the oboe. As an alternative, a part is provided in Eb so that an alto saxophone could replace the cor anglais.
Instrumentation

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.
