Description
Written in 1892 as Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) was considering Jeannette Thurber's generous offer to move to the United States and serve as director of her National Conservatory of Music in New York, OTHELLO (OTELLO) is the second work in a triptych of concert overtures meant to offer impressions of what the human soul may experience. Originally titled Nature, Life, and Love, Dvorák decided to publish each with a more distinct identity: NATURE'S REALM, Op. 91 for nature, CARNIVAL, Op. 92 for life, and OTHELLO, Op. 93 for love. OTHELLO take its epic character from the Shakespeare's famous work of literature, and it represents love in its most destructive form, jealousy, which underpins the drama. While the overture is not a faithful adaptation, certain parallels can be found and some of the motifs fit with dramatic sections of the play. The work premiered on April 28th, 1892, by the Orchestra of the National Theatre in Prague, Dvorák conducting. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).2+1(EH).2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(1-2): Hp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition. A critical edition by Dvorák expert Otakar Šourek and František Bartoš is also available from E.F. Kalmus.
