VIOLONCELLO CONCERTO IN B MINOR Op.104 Violoncello

Choosing an edition of this celebrated violoncello concerto has always posed a dilemma: they were based either on the first edition, which was not given a final authorization by Dvor''k, or solely on the autograph, which does not represent the final version in many instances. This was the case with the Dvor''k Complete Edition of 1955, for example. Klaus DOge has critically re-examined all the surviving sources. His research has yielded a new, text-critical edition that meticulously evaluates the many, often contradictory readings that create discrepancies between the autograph and the first edition. In the conclusions he draws for performance practice, DOge generally gives priority to the first edition. However, he does not smooth out Dvor''k's special notation, such as Dvor''k's publisher Simrock did in his day. DOge's edition also shows that the musical text is not as authenticated as has been suggested by previous editions. Variants have occasionally been notated on a second staff
