Dvořák’s String Quintet in G major Op.77, had five movements when it was premiered on 18 March 1876.  Its second movement was the Intermezzo from his String Quartet in E minor (1870).  Later Dvořák removed this movement from the quintet, expanded it, and published it as a separate Notturno for string orchestra Op.40.  The Intermezzo is included in its original version in the appendix of the score.

This edition is based on the Complete Edition of the Works of Antonín Dvořák, the principal source being the first edition of 1888, for which Dvořák subjected the work to revision.

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.
