| Extra Information
|
According to antonin-dvorak.cz, the 4th chorus is not yet published. The first edition preface (printed in the scan on this page) notes that manuscripts for this work are missing, but transcriptions used by various singing societies still exist and were the basis for the first edition (of Nos.1-3). The copies of the transcriptions have title Kytice z českých národních písní, op. 41 (Bouquet of Czech National Songs), different from the first edition title Sborové písně pro mužské hlasy as found on the manuscripts for B.66. Despite the transcriptions' title having Op.41, that opus was not used for publication of this work, so this page will not list it. The published Op.41 is Scottish Dances.
