BAGATELLES (score & parts)

These Bagetelles are arranged for the same combination as the Spohr Nonet and the Rheinberger Nonet, plus one more violin, giving players another work to rehearse alongside these two. They were originally written in 1878, and scored for 2 violins, cello and harmonium, when Dvorak was completing his first set of Slavonic Dances. They were intended for the domestic music-making of an amateur cellist friend, whose only keyboard instrument happened to be a harmonium. In No.1 and No.3 he uses the Czech folk-song Bagpipes were playing at Pobuda, and it is again alluded to in No.5. Because of Dvorak's use of the harmonium these Bagatelles are very rarely performed in their original form. Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) was a Czech composer, who frequently employed aspects, specifically rhythms, of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia.
