What is Dvořák and His World about?

<p>Antonin Dvor&aacute;k made his famous trip to the United States one hundred years ago, but despite an enormous amount of attention from scholars and critics since that time, he remains an elusive figure. Comprising both interpretive essays and a selection of fascinating documents that bear on Dvor&aacute;k's career and music, this volume addresses fundamental questions about the composer while presenting an argument for a radical reappraisal.The essays, which make up the first part of the book, begin with Leon Botstein's inquiry into the reception of Dvor&aacute;k's work in German-speaking Europe, in England, and in America. Commenting on the relationship between Dvor&aacute;k and Brahms, David Beveridge offers the first detailed portrait of perhaps the most interesting artistic friendship of the era. Joseph Horowitz explores the context in which the New World Symphony was premiered a century ago, offering an absorbing account of New York musical life at that time. In discussing Dvor&aacute;k as a composer of operas, Jan Smaczny provides an unexpected slant on the widely held view of him as a nationalist composer. Michael Beckerman further investigates this view of Dvor&aacute;k
