ANTONIN DVORAK PIANO CONCERTO CONCERTO POUR PIANO Op. 33 2 PIANOS Critical edition based on the composer's manuscript Edition critique d’aprés le manuscrit de Pauteur 1955 EXPORT: ARTIA, PRAGUE CZECHOSLOVAKIAPIANO CONCERTO IN G MINOR Critical edition based on original sources and prepared for the press by the Editing Board for the Works of Antonin Dootdke: Otakar Soureke, Chairman — Jan Hanus, Chief Editor — Frantiiek Barto’— Dr Jif Berkovec — Dr Antonin Cubr — Ladislav Ldska — Antonin Pokorny — Karel Sole. ANTONIN DVORAK (8. 1X. 1841—1. V. 1904) wrote three concertos for a solo instru- ment with orchestral accompaniment: Piano Concerto op. 33, Violin Concerto op. 53 and Violoncello Concerto op. 104. (The first Violoncello Concerto in A major from the year 1865 was written with piano accompaniment only and its orchestral version, published a long time after the composer's death, is the work of an atranger). From the three above mentioned Con- certos with orchestral accompaniment, the Piano Concerto in G minor op. 33 is the first in so far as the time of its origin is concerned. It originated in August and September of the year 1876, the first movement being completed on August 28th, the second on September 6th and the last, third, on September 14th. This was comparatively soon after the composer had created the last group of his “Moravian Duets” op. 32 and it need not, therefore, surprise us, that in its expression the Concerto reminds us here and there of some of these delightful miniatures, even if-in its contents—it is a work quite different and, in many respects, quite new. Its vigorous impetus changing from the proud pathos of the first movement to the warm intimacy of the middle and the gay buoyancy of the last movement, proves this more than sufficiently. Dvoiik wrote his Piano Concerto for an outstanding Czech pianist, Karel Slavkousky (1846—1919), who behaved in a friendly way to the composer who~at that time—had not yet gained general renown, Slavkovsky often played Dvofik’s works both as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles and it was also he, who performed for the first time the Concerto, accompanied by the orchestra of the Czech Interim Theatre under the baton of Adolf Cech at a “Slavonic Concert” held on March 24th, 1878 in the Prague Zofin Hall. The work, however, was written at a time when the piano, in the composer's hands, was not yet flexible enough to be endowed, in connection with orchestral accompaniment, with the necessary penctrativeness and grateful intrumental stylisation as was the case with Dvotik’s piano compositions dating from a later time. This may also explain why, at first, the composition did not become so po- pular with performers as the later Violin and Violoncello Concertos although the characteristiccharms of its musical content make of ita work which does not fall below the level set by the other two Concertos. It is therefore, to the credit of the late Czech piano pedagogue Prof. Vi- Jém Kurz (18721945), that he arranged the solo part of the Concerto in such a way that— with all due piety to Dvo#ik’s original—supplied it with the necessary brilliancy and radiance. This arrangement also helped the Concerto to become, in recent times, a much sought after and successful item in the repertoire of executive artists. With regard to this important fact, our edition includes, besides the critical re-print of Dvotik’s original version, also Kurz’s stylisation of the solo part as we believe that it can only further the vitality of the composition, this being proved by the now frequent and always suc- cessful performances of the work in Kurz’s revision. The piano version of the orchestral accompaniment has been prepated by Karel Solc. Translated by Dr L. Dorittha Otakar SourekDURATA CCA 38” I, Allegro agitato (18) 6 0 ee page II.
