String Quartet No.13 in G major Op.106 (Parts)

Dvorak String Quartet No.13 in G major Op.106 (Parts)

After working for three years at the National Conservatory in New York, Dvorak returned home in 1895 feeling extraordinarily happy.  The fruits of this ecstatic period are the composer's last two string quartets.

The Quartet in G major, Op. 106, was written immediately after his return from America.  The melodic freshness of the light, airy themes, alternating folk idioms in a temperate, unobtrusive musical allusion, betraysthe composer's maturity and mastery.

The editor of this work, published as part of the first Complete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak, is Frantisek Bartos.
