How come no Dvorak?

[jcabraham]

There's no Dvorak to download on pianostreet (I'm a gold member), there's more or less nothing at sheetmusicplus, and very little discussion of him. Am I alone in thinking he's great? Discuss....

Well, he probably can be considered great, but not for the piano.

Thal

Yes, he certainly comes to mind as a great composer, however, not as a prominent one for piano.

As people above have said, he didn't do much solo piano - however he did do some major 4 hand pieces - I think the Slavonic Dances were first done for 4 hands and a suite called Legends. I have learned the popular Humoresque (no. 3? I don't know) from his set of Humoresques - a fun, light piece.

I just looked on Amazon and Naxos has a disk called "Complete Solo Piano Music" and it has three opuses - a mazurka set, the humoresques and a set called silhouettes.
