Dvorak: Cello Concerto - Paperback

by Jan Smaczny (Author), Smaczny Jan (Author), Julian Rushton (Editor)

Although Dvor k's cello concerto is enormously popular, no extended study of it has been undertaken hitherto. This book is a comprehensive study intended for concertgoers and students of this well-loved work. It considers aspects of historical background, form, virtuosity, performance and the concerto's rich personal content. This guide sees the work as a crucial means of exploring the composer's emotional life and links it intimately to the woman who was probably his first love.
