“At certain points it will be like a serious song, at others like a happy dance …” This was how Dvořák described the work which he was composing at the time to a friend in 1890. The word “Dumka” (plural “Dumky”) actually describes a Slavic dance-form with a noticeable alternation between melancholic and dance-like boisterous passages. The Dumka is a recurring theme in Dvořák’s chamber music; although always only as a single movement. The unusual form of this piano trio – it has a succession of six “Dumky”, each with its own very distinctive character and great expressiveness – means that it is one of the Czech master’s best-loved works.

Reviews
Henle’s newly researched, pristine edition, complete with the composer’s own metronome markings for Dumky 1–5, contains an extensive preface and critical commentary on variants in the sources.
[Strings, 2009]
Questa prima edizione è assunta ora a punto di partenza per un’accurata comparazione delle fonti che restituisca integrità al testo musicale originale. A curare per Henle l’autorevole operazione editoriale è Klaus Döge.
[Giornale della Musica, 2008]
Die Ausgabe ist ein Muss für alle Musiker, welche aus veralteten Editionen spielen, sie ist auch Anregung, den Notentext eines bekannten Stückes zu hinterfragen und eingefleischte Gewohnheiten über Bord zu werfen. Frisches Blut tut gut, vor allem «abgespielten» Stücken.
[Schweizer Musikzeitung, 2008]
Vorbildlich auch der ausführliche Anmerkungsapparat und ein Kritischer Bericht, der Alternativen aufzeigt und für erhellende Hintergrundinformationen sorgt.
