Written by Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) in the summer of 1875, the year after his Wagnerian fourth, SYMPHONY NO. 5 IN F MAJOR, OP. 76/B. 54, lends a pastoral contrast to the heroic nature of the previous symphony. It premiered on March 25, 1879 at the Zofín concert hall in Prague under the direction of Adolf Cech. Simrock finally published it in 1888, following revisions. Dvorák dedicated it to the Hans von Bülow as a gesture to the conductor for promoting his music. It was assigned a high opus number, contrary to the composer's wishes, as his publisher shrewdly decided to sell it as a mature work. This Kalmus Critical Edition is edited by Frantisek Bartos. Instrumentation: 2.2.2(2nd d. BCl).2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
