3. STYLE
• Dvorak was one of several composers from the Romantic era;
• After Bedřich Smetana, he was the second Czech composer to
achieve major worldwide recognition;
• Dvořák's own style has been described as "the fullest
recreation of a national idiom”;
• Dvorak also introduced some local dances with characteristic
rhythms or forms to his music, such as Polkas, the Furiant and
the Ukranian Dumka
5. • Dvorak's music for his 9th symphony (subtitled "From the
New World") was originally intended for an opera based
on Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha" but that project
was abandoned;
• The symphony was composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1893
while he was the director of the National Conservatory
of Music of America from 1892 to 1895.
• The Slow Movement from the symphony is is a nostalgic
thought for his native land;
