ExclusiveComplete Performance: Dvořák's String Quartet No. 12 in F Major, 'American', Op. 96

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Antonín Dvořák: String Quartet no. 12 in F major 'American', Op. 96. This beautiful piece was preserved by European Archive. It has Creative Commons license (PDM 1.0 DEED) and is provided through www.musopen.org.

Dvorák composed his twelfth string quartet in F major op. 96, known as the "American" quartet, in just twelve days during his summer holidays in Spillville, Iowa, in June 1893. This immensely uplifting quartet has become one of the composer's most popular works because of its immediate musical appeal.

The work was published by the Simrock publishing house in Berlin in 1894; Johannes Brahms had read the corrections, but unfortunately the engraver's model has not survived. Dvorák himself was in America and was not involved in the preparation of the first edition. The editor therefore relies on the autograph as well as the score and parts of the first edition. The assessment of the different readings proved to be a particular challenge.
