Serenade for Winds, Op.44 / B.77 - Study score

Dvorak composed this deservedly popular work 1878 shortly after the premiere of his opera The Cunning Peasant. Scored for a 'harmonie' ensemble of 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns and contrabassoon, with an cello and string bass added to support the bass line. The composer conducted the premiere on November 17, 1878 in a concert of his music held in Prague's Provisional Theatre. Published early the next year, it has been in the repertoire ever since. The score offered here is a reissue of the 1956 critical edition of Frantisek Bartos. In contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available this one comes with all the pages with each image thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, then beautifully printed on quality stock with an attractive glossy cover. The matching large score and parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
