Antonín Dvorák
Terzetto C major op. 74 for two Violins and Viola
Dvorák composed his Terzetto op. 74 in 1887 as the result of a spontaneous desire to write some domestic music. Inspired by neighbourhood violin lessons, he wrote these four little movements for two violins with viola accompaniment in the space of just a few days. This Terzetto is thus not technically difficult to play, though with its flowing melodies and spirited rhythms it still offers the best of Dvorák. It is not surprising that his publisher Fritz Simrock immediately snatched them up when Dvorák told him in 1887 that he was working on “little bagatelles”. The autograph of the score that contained many corrections nevertheless makes evident just how much hard work went into these “little bagatelles”. It also served as the engraver’s copy for the first edition. Both these sources were consulted for this Urtext edition that offers today’s players an authentic text of this musical jewel.

Dies ist die für den praktischen Gebrauch geeignetste Ausgabe des Terzetts von Antonín Dvořák! Die Seiten sind vom Herausgeber so eingerichtet, dass man bis zum Ende des zweiten Satzes nicht umblättern muss, das Papier ist von stabiler Qualität und die Taktzahlen sind am Anfang jeder Linie gesetzt und zählen den Auftakt nicht mit. Keine der mir bekannten gedruckten Stimmen erfüllte in den vergangenen fünf Jahrzehnten alle diese Kriterien gleichzeitig. Der knappe Kritische Bericht zu dieser Urtext-Ausgabe zeugt von grosser Sorgfalt. ... Diese Ausgabe erleichtert jetzt auch die Probenarbeit und bannt alle Sorgen beim Umblättern.
