Rondo in G minor Op.94 (Dvořák)
Movements
Notes
The Rondo in G minor, Op. 94 was composed in 1891. It has been performed in recent years by the likes of cellists Yo-Yo Ma, Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Sol Gabetta. The Rondo’s main theme is among Dvořák’s moderately well-known melodies. The Rondo contains three themes, presented in the regular rondo form. The Rondo’s G minor key helps the main theme create a somewhat melancholy atmosphere, though it is nevertheless spirited and dance-like, like much of Dvořák’s chamber music.
