Dvorák

Although Dvork''s cello concerto is enormously popular no extended study of it has been undertaken hitherto. This book is a comprehensive study intended for concertgoers and students of this well-loved work. It considers aspects of historical background form virtuosity performance and the concerto''s rich personal content. This guide sees the work as a crucial means of exploring the composer''s emotional life and links it intimately to the woman who was probably his first love.
