Mazurek for Violin and Orchestra in E minor op. 49 [Bar:H1550]

Interest in Dvorak's writing prompted his publisher Fritz Simrock to request a new work from him, this time shorter and, where possible, again of a "Slavonic" nature. This commission gave rise to Mazurka in E minor for violin and piano. The work has become a favourite virtuoso concert piece. This title, part of the first Complete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak, was edited by Jan Hanus and Karel Solc.
