Many a pianist will be surprised to learn that Dvorák’s famous Humoresque no. 7 was originally a piano piece, since this irresistible melody - undoubtedly one of Dvorák’s happiest inspirations - has circulated throughout the musical world in innumerable arrangements for every conceivable combination. The composer himself, however, wrote only this piano solo version. The complete cycle of eight Humoresques is available in another Henle Urtext edition (HN 1044), while this “lollipop” of the eight is now available in a stand-alone edition. Not least because of its only moderate difficulty, it is a must for piano fans of all ages!
