Although Antonin Dvorak left behind an extensive oeuvre for solo piano, young pianists and less advanced amateurs are usually introduced to the composer's sound world through the same familiar works. However, in the shadow of these popular pieces lie many others that have been unjustly neglected or forgotten, but which, thanks to their modest technical difficulty, offer an ideal introduction to Dvorak's piano music.

Editor Tomas Visek, himself an accomplished pianist, pedagogue and expert on Dvorak's piano works, has selected ten appealing compositions from various creative periods of the composer's life for this album. The collection includes both well-known, frequently played pieces - such as the dance miniatures "Two Little Pearls" - and almost unknown works like the untitled "Composition in G major". The pieces are arranged progressively - from short and relatively easy pieces to more extensive and somewhat more demanding compositions.
