Monografie významného českého malíře Václava Menčíka byla vydána na základě dlouholeté spolupráce s pražskou Galerií 33. Malíř bývá označován za „posledního kubistu v Čechách“, neboť byl v mládí asistentem Emila Filly.

V době, kdy v rychlém sledu vychází jedna monografie za druhou, a to ještě nejrůznější kvality, sotva lze najít mezeru, kam zařadit dílo umělce, jemuž osobní zásadovost, školení a hlavně vyhraněná názorová orientace nedovolují podddat se, či dokonce se podbízet dnes neobvykle komerčně zaměřené době. A právě s těmito hodnotami souzní životní tvorba sochaře Václava Frydeckého, jemuž je věnován tento monografický svazek s výběrem reprodukcí jeho prací.

The second movement of Herbert's concerto was in B minor, which might have been a factor in Dvorak's choice of the same key for his own concerto, which was started in New York on November 8, 1894 and completed on February 8 of the following year. Despite the dedication to Wihan, the first performance was given...

Dvorak received a commission for this work in 1877 for a benefit concert to raise funds for the construction of a new church in Prague. Composed between August 6 and 28 September, it was first performed on December 2 at the Provisional Threatre, with the orchestra conducted by Ludevit Prochazka as the composer's opus 40. It would be eleven years before the work was first published however, and Dvorak's publisher Simrock assigned the opus number of 78 to imply they were bringing out a new work. The work entered the symphonic repertoire gradually after its 1888 publication and remains extremely...
