Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Edited by Jonathan Del Mar. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Score. Opus 60. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10416. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10416).
ISBN 9790006568345. 12.8 x 10.04 inches. Key: D major. Preface: Jan Smaczny / Jonathan Del Mar.
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 had to be something”. Although the world premiere of the ensuing Symphony No. 6, composed in March 1881, did not take place with Richter conducting – as the Philharmonic did not accept the work straight away – but with Adolf Cech in Prague, the symphony nevertheless celebrated success in Europe later on, particularly in Great Britain.
For this edition, the editor Jonathan Del Mar analysed Dvorák’s autograph and the score that was published by Simrock at the end of 1881. Also, 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, were evaluated.
