Duettina pro housle a violoncello op. 67 — First Printed Edition of a Czech Chamber Discovery

Duettina pro housle a violoncello op. 67 by Viktor Kalabis (1923–2006) is the first printed edition of four virtuoso miniatures for violin and cello, composed in 1987 and premiered in 1991 in Domažlice by Jana Vlachová and Mikael Ericsson. Previously unpublished, the score is based on the composer's autograph held in the Viktor Kalabis and Zuzana Růžičková Foundation. The edition includes a preface by Aleš Březina with a personal statement from Gidon Kremer, who recorded the work with cellist Magdalena Ceple for Hyperion Records in 2025.
