Two Waltzes, Op.54 (composer’s transcription)

Composers:
  • Dvorak, Antonin
Detailed Instrumentation: String Orchestra (8-8-5-5-5 in set)
Duration: 7
Description:

Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) wrote 8 Waltzes, Op. 54, for piano in 1879. At the suggestion of his publisher, he arranged two of the waltzes (nos. 1 and 4) for strings the following year. His transcription, which became more recognizable than the original for piano, could be played by a string quartet, string quintet, or a string orchestra. Either of these waltzes would make a superb encore selection or could, together, anchor a shorter program. The set includes a string count of 8-8-5-5-5.
