Description
Written by Anton�n Dvor�k (1841-1904) in the summer of 1875, the year after his “Wagnerian” fourth, SYMPHONY NO. 5 IN F MAJOR, OP. 76/B. 54, lends a pastoral contrast to the heroic nature of the previous symphony. It premiered on March 25, 1879 at the Zof�n concert hall in Prague under the direction of Adolf Cech. Simrock finally published it in 1888, following revisions. Dvor�k dedicated it to the Hans von B�low as a gesture to the conductor for promoting his music. It was assigned a high opus number, contrary to the composer’s wishes, as his publisher shrewdly decided to sell it as a mature work. This Kalmus Critical Edition is edited by Frantisek Bartos.
