| In March 1880 Dvorak arranged five of his Moravian Duets (two from Op. 29 and three from Op. 32) for four unaccompanied female voices. Two of these were performed for the first time on 29 March at a Dvorak concert held in Prague in support of the construction of the National Theatre. The work has yet to come out in print. |
