After Antonín Dvorák had spent a successful time in Vienna in the summer of 1879, during which he deepened his acquaintance with Johannes Brahms and the conductor Hans Richter and heard the Vienna Philharmonic play his music, he decided to write a symphony "that must be something". Although the world premiere of the 6th Symphony composed in March 1881 did not take place with Richter conducting - as the Philharmonic did not immediately accept the work - but with Adolf Cech in Prague, the symphony was nevertheless a great success in Europe later on, particularly in Great Britain.

For the present edition, the editor Jonathan Del Mar analyzed Dvorák's autograph and the score published by Simrock at the end of 1881 as well as, for the first time in an Urtext edition, the parts of the first edition, whose readings are revealing in view of the lost manuscript parts of the premiere.
