Two Guitars : Dvorak arranged by Duo Miric

Slavonic Dance Op. 46 No. 1 by Dvorak arr. Duo Miric

for two guitars

Slavonic Dance Op. 46 No. 1 by Antonín DvoÅ™ák arranged for two guitars by Duo Mirić.

One of DvoÅ™ák’s more varied of the 16 Slavonic Dances in the Op. 46 set - you can see why he would have chosen this as number 1. The piece is in a quick 3 time that deceives the ear by beginning in with a theme that syncopates across the bar line before exploding into a selection of joyous folk-like melodies that swirl through a myriad of different keys. As with all Duo Mirić’s arrangements, each guitar part has an equal share of both the melody and accompaniment roles providing much excitement for both players. Combine it with one or more of Duo Mirić’s other DvoÅ™ák arrangements (links below) to create a substantial feature in a concert programme.

Lasts approx. 4 minutes.
