Last of the four late tone poems inspired by Bouquet, a collection of ballads by Karel Jaromir Erben based upon Czech folklore, Wild Dove was composed from October 22 to November 18 of 1896 and given its first performance in Brno on March 20, 1898 under the direction of Leos Janacek. The four tone poems were awarded first prize by the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1899. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the full score first published in 1955 by the Czech State Publishers as part of the Dvorak collected works, edited by Antonin Pokorny and Karel Solc. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable.
