Silhouettes, Op. 8 (B. 98)

by Antonín Dvořák

Catalogue Op. 8
Composed 1879
Published 1879
Works 12

Twelve character pieces originally sketched in 1872 (B.32) and revised for publication in 1879. Each silhouette evokes a distinct mood or type without programmatic titles — the 'silhouette' metaphor suggests outlines rather than full pictures. The collection contains some of Dvořák's most personal early piano writing.
