Dvorak Slavonic Dance #8
Dvorak was still a relatively unknown composer when he wrote his first set of Slavonic Dances in 1878, and it is this composition that launched him on the road to international fame. He originally wrote these dances for piano four hands, but they are most often played in his orchestral versions. Dvorak's Slavonic Dance #8 captures the feel of a rustic peasant dance in Bohemia.
This composition can be played by 16,356,614 different combinations of instruments (really!).
A few notes on the parts and instruments:
- The standard ("std") parts are the original parts and are designed to be played together.
- The alternate "a" parts, if present, are raised one octave (8va) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the higher instruments listed. They should work as long as they are above the other parts.
- The alternate "b" parts, if present, are lowered one octave (8vb) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the lower instruments listed. They should work as long as they are below the other parts.
- For example, using parts 1, 2, and 3 together is definitely ok. Using parts 1a, 2, and 3b together is probably ok. Using parts 1b, 2, and 3a together might not work well.
- Part ranges are listed in concert key, where C4 is middle C.
