Although Dvorák’s Cello Concerto has become one of the favourites of the repertory, he himself had doubts about the cello as a solo instrument. Jan Smaczny, professor of music at Belfast’s Queen’s University and an expert in Czech music, discusses Dvorák’s relationship with the cello, how he came to write the concerto – including the roles of its dedicatee, the woman who inspired it and the players who subsequently performed it – and at the way the score evolved. A fascinating background for anyone who wants to perform or study the work.
Hardback. 120pp; music examples; discography.
