Two Guitars : Dvorak arranged by Duo Miric
Slavonic Dance Op. 72 No. 2 by Dvorak arr. Duo Miric
for two guitars
Slavonic Dance Op. 72 No. 2 by Antonín Dvořák arranged for two guitars by Duo Mirić.
Arguably the most famous and best loved of Dvořák’s 16 Slavonic Dances, this sumptuously expressive and melodic piece works beautifully as a guitar duet. The arrangement takes full advantage of the entire range of notes, dynamics and sounds available whilst giving each player an equal share of both melody and accompaniment roles. We think it could become a classic of the duo repertoire and it makes an excellent contrasting companion piece to one or more of Duo Mirić’s equally superb Dvořák arrangements (links below).
Lasts approx. 5½ minutes.

“...this is a fine and ambitious arrangement. Looking at the chosen tonality as well as the structure and distribution of Dvořák’s complex musical material, I can say that this is a successfully realized work for two guitars. Seemingly complex technical requirements are adroitly mitigated by the successful solutions of the arrangers. Simply put, both guitar parts lie naturally under the fingers with nothing exceeding standard technical requirements. Such music, especially as realized as a guitar duet, will prove compelling and accessible to a wide audience.” –Uroš Dojčinović - Soundboard THE JOURNAL OF THE GUITAR FOUNDATION OF AMERICA Vol. 47 No. 3 October 2021
