Antonín Dvořák
and Max Bruch:
Notes:
"There is one rather sad difference between these marvellous concertos. Whereas Dvořák was encouraged by his publisher Fritz Simrock to write the A minor concerto and was decently paid for it, also receiving performance royalties, Bruch unwisely sold the G minor concerto outright to a publisher for a fixed fee. A royalty contract would have given him a handsome pension at the end of his long life, when he was living in poverty. As an old man, he was even cheated out of the promised sale of the manuscript score." Tully Potter
Some things never change.
Cheers
