String Quartet in E major is the eighth of Dvorak's fourteen works for such an ensemble. It was written in 1876, and the overall mood of the piece gives hint to the composer's preceding loss of his second child. The work was published in 1888 and it was Simrock who gave it the higher Opus number 80, despite Dvorak's protests. This study score draws from the first edition and the manuscript. It includes a short Preface by Otakar Sourek and the Editor's Notes.
