Description:
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 premiere of the 6th Symphony composed on it in March 1881 did not take place with Richter at the podium – as the Philharmonic did not immediately accept the work – but with Adolf Cech in Prague, the symphony nevertheless later celebrated success in Europe, especially in Great Britain.
For the present edition, the editor Jonathan Del Mar evaluated Dvorák's autograph and the score published by Simrock at the end of 1881 and, for the first time for an Urtext edition, also the parts of the first edition, the readings of which are instructive in view of the lost handwritten parts of the premiere.
Flutes (2) (also piccolo), oboes (2), clarinets (2), bassoons (2), horns (4), trumpets (2), trombones (3), tuba (1), timpani, violin (1), viola, cello, double bass
