The resulting eight \u003ci\u003eSlavonic Dances\u003c\/i\u003e led to his international breakthrough. \u003ci\u003eFuriant\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003epolka\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003esoudeska\u003c\/i\u003e: all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the \u003ci\u003eSlavonic Dances\u003c\/i\u003e also became popular in orchestral arrangement, they were originally written for piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorak released for publication was anything but ideal. Now, to honor the centennial of his death, we are presenting his original version with a detailed commentary on the work's sources and editorial problems. The fingering, always a delicate matter in duet playing, has been entrusted to Andreas Groethuysen, with results that will prove a boon to performers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53476610474302,"sku":"51480757","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/51480757_1.jpg?v=1778671773","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/slavonic-dances-op-46-1-piano-4-hands","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
