The six waltzes in this edition were influenced by the waltzes of Fr‚d‚ric Chopin (1810--1849). They share a similar formal plan of presenting short sections, some different and some repeated, forming a successful balance of variety and unity. Editor Edward Francis has suggested fingerings, pedaling, and metronome markings to aid students and performers. In addition, the prefatory matter discusses performance considerations and includes a formal analysis of each waltz. (sample pages)

Justly celebrated for his orchestral music, Antonin Dvor k was also a gifted composer of keyboard works. This original collection features a variety of his richly Romantic piano pieces, from minuets to mazurkas to waltzes. Suitable for intermediate-levelpianists, these selections include the Czech composer's beloved Scottish Dances, Op. 41, and Slavonic Dances, Opp. 46 and 72. Before the publication of his Slavonic Dances, Dvor k was a relative unknown in the music world. Johannes Brahms introduc...

The composer himself, however, wrote only this piano solo version. The complete cycle of eight Humoresques is available in another Henle Urtext edition (HN 1044), while this "lollipop" of t...
Romantic. In the summer of 1894, Antonin Dvorak interrupted his stay in America in order to spend his holidays back in his homeland of Bohemia. During those happy weeks, he wrote his eight Humoresques for piano. But this music is not by no means as "Bohemian" as one might suppose. We know that Dvor k had already sketched some of the material for these pieces in New York, and there are also indications that the composer initially considered writing a series of Scottish dances. In other words, thes...
Romantic. Dvor k's Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylized composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvor k's Slavonic Dances that they "made a real musician's heart laugh within him." The comment might equally well be applied to these pieces. These Waltzes and Mazurkas rank along side the best works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit, yet they are not widely known and have not been heard as often in concert h...
