DvorakÂ's Â"String Quartet No. 5 in F minorÂ" of 1873 represents, musically speaking, a fundamental re-orientation of the composer. It has nothing that reminds one of his excessive admiration for the music of Wagner and Liszt. Instead, Dvorak re-establishes contact with the classical string quartet tradition. The autograph score, once in the possession of DvorakÂ's heirs, is no longer accessible. This edition is based on the posthumously printed edition of 1929. Long-awaited reprint of this famous work! With a foreword by Jarmil Burghauser (Cz/Eng/Ger), updated and expanded by Hartmut Schick. For Set of Parts see BA9545.
