Moravian Duets, a popular composition that was originallyintended for home music-making,won young Dvořák a scholarship and relieved him of financial worries; after the composition was published by Simrock, it also launched Dvořák's international career. Shortly after their publication, Janáček arranged six duets from Op. 29 and Op. 32 for four-part mixed choir using Dvořák's piano accompaniment.
The basis for this edition is Janáček's choral score published in 1939 by Josef Plavec.
