Antonín Dvorák
Antonín Dvorák (September 8, 1841 – May 1, 1904) was a Czech composer of Romantic music, who employed the idioms and melodies of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia. His works include operas, symphonic, choral and chamber music. His best-known works include his New World Symphony (particularly the second and fourth movements), as well as his Slavonic Dances, "American" String Quartet (published here by Pro Arte Music), and Cello Concerto in B minor.
From 1892 to 1895, Dvorák was the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City. During this time he wrote two of his greatest masterpieces, namely his “New World Symphony” and “American Quartet”.
