Fantasticke Scherzo Op.25

<p>Composed in 1904 Josef Suk's pasionate symphonic scherzo is presented for the first time in a moderately priced authoratative score that will be a welcome addition to the libraries of performers and music enthusiasts everywhere. The <em>Fantasticke Scherzo</em> was one of the last of the works composed before the tragic hammer blows to fall upon him the following year when his father-in-law Antonin Dvorak died followed soon thereafter by the death of his wife (Dvorak's daughter). Though generally a jubilant work there is nevertheless a hint of autumnal melancholy present in the soaring cello theme.</p><p></p><p><br></p>
