This work brings me as much pleasure as if I were writinga major symphony... This washow Dvorak communicated to his publisher Simrock the joy he felt while workingonopus 75a (Miniatures for Two Violins and Viola), and he immediately set aboutreworkingit for violin and piano, giving it a new title, Romantic Pieces. The four shortmovementsfully evoke the atmosphere of home music-making for which it was written. TheCzechedition goes by the title Drobnosti (Miniatures) and is accompanied by a shortGavotte,dated 1890 and also written in a simpler style for three violins. This title ispart of the firstComplete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak.
