Written from 1894-1895, Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B minor remains widely performed and admired. The genesis of the piece is not without its share of interpersonal drama. It's still a mystery (and probably always will be) as to why this piece was debuted by English cellist Leo Stern, despite having been written for Dvořák's good friend and famed cellist Hanuš Wihan.
