In July 2016, a world record was established when the world's largest symphony orchestra of 7548 musicians in Frankfurt, Germany, played Antonin Dvořák's 9th Symphony , popularly known as New World Symphony. Today you have a chance to establish your own record, playing just a single instrument but replacing the entire orchestra. Introducing a solo guitar arrangement of another Dvořák's musical piece from a series of his enormously successful 16 Slavonic Dances, namely, Slavonic Dances Op. 72 No. 2 Starodávný (Dumka). Today, one can hear Dvořák's dances almost exclusively as orchestral versions in concerts or recordings, but two centuries ago, the piano music for four hands was written for amateurs and played at home. A few other versions of the Slavonic Dances arranged for various instruments exist, among them, a famous transcription by Fritz Kreisler of Slavonic Dances Op. 72 No.2 for violin and piano. I love this dance, but I could not find any arrangement of this piece for guitar solo. So, I decided to make the arrangement myself, and spent quite some time trying to transfer as much as possible of the original four-hand version into a solo guitar piece that is presented today in this publication. I used a limited number of guitar-specific techniques (harmonics, among a few others), mostly where I needed to overcome the range limitations.
