Antonin Dvorak ‘Romance’ Op.11   (1879)

Romance in F minor. Musicologists have long known that the Romance in F minor for Violin and orchestra was based upon the second movement of Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 5 in F minor, which he composed in 1873. But a newly discovered performing edition of the Romance, for violin and piano accompaniment, turned up as recently as 2015. With notations in the composer’s hand, this discovery shed light on the orchestral version as well. He wrote a version of the Romance in F minor with piano accompaniment, dedicated to the violinist František Ondříček, were published in 1879 by Simrock
