Slavonic Dances Op.46 arranged for Violoncello & Piano

Dvorak Slavonic Dances Op.46 arranged for Violoncello & Piano

In 1891 Dvořák arranged the final eighth dance of his popular first set of the Slavonic Dances Op.46 for violoncello and piano.  The Czech composer Jiří Gemrot, born in 1957, has followed his example and has arranged the remaining dances for the same scoring.  However in order to approach Dvořák’s ideal sound Gemrot based his arrangements on the composer's orchestral score.

Dvořák’s own arrangement of Slavonic Dance No. 8 has been taken from the Complete Edition of the Works of Antonín Dvořák, Volume IV/3 (Compositions for Violoncello).

The cello parts have previously been published in older editions in the treble clef requiring them to be played an octave down. In these new editions the parts are written in bass and tenor clefs which makes them easier to read by the cellist.
