Composed by Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) in the first few months of 1874, SYMPHONY NO. 4 IN D MINOR, Op. 13/B. 41 displays the unmistakable influence of Wagner in its thematic development. A paraphrase of the opening material in the overture to TANNHÄUSER appears in the second movement. Bedrich Smetana conducted the premiere of the third movement on May 25, 1874 at a concert of the Academy Readers' Society in Prague. Due to his own dissatisfaction of the work's merits, Dvorák decided to cancel the planned 1888 premiere by the London Philharmonic Society. Subsequently revised, the symphony was finally heard in its entirety on April 6, 1892, performed by the National Theatre Orchestra under the baton of the composer. It was published posthumously in 1912. This critical edition, based on the composer's manuscript, was edited by Frantisek Bartos, Antonín Pokorny, and Karel Solc. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2-3): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.
