Summary of This Score
Composed in 1876, the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G minor op. 33 B 63 holds a unique place in Antonín Dvo?ák's catalogue: it is his only piano concerto, often overshadowed by his violin and cello concertos. This Urtext edition offers a renewed reading of the work by returning to the sources to highlight the composer's original intent, without any posthumous pianistic "improvements."
The editorial work is based on a clear principle: to revalue the authentic text. The main foundation is the first complete impression published in 1883 by Hainauer, precisely compared with the autograph. This approach clarifies many detailed points (articulations, dynamics, phrasing) and provides a reliable material, ideal for in-depth soloist work as well as preparation with conductor and orchestra.
A major asset of this publication lies in its performance practice commentary written by Ivo Kahánek. Addressing the spirit of the style, projection of the discourse, touch choices, and balance with the orchestra, these indications guide the pianist in constructing a convincing interpretation, respectful of the text and musically engaged.
Finally, the piano reduction is not a mere utilitarian addition: the old anonymous reduction being notoriously faulty, this edition adopts Karel olc's version, here adapted to correspond to this new Urtext. A relevant working tool for rehearsals, study, or an analytical approach to the structure and soloist-orchestra dialogues.
