Product Description
The significance of Dvorak's Largo from Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," lies in its hauntingly beautiful melody, which has become famous. Dvorak wrote the symphony during his time in the USA between 1892 and 1895, and it is often associated with the American landscape and the feeling of vast open spaces. The Largo, the symphony's second movement, features a beautiful and expressive melody played by the cor anglais, resembling the melancholy sound of the oboe. With its intense and expressive music, this movement reflects Dvorak's inspiration from the American environment and its music.
The significance of the nickname "From the New World" for Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," lies in the fact that Dvorak explained that the symphony offers "Impressions and greetings from the New World," which he had discovered during his first few months in New York. The symphony was composed by Dvorak in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music in America. It is said that Dvorak was inspired by America's "wide open spaces," such as the prairies he may have seen on his trip to Iowa in the summer of 1893. The symphony's melodies, particularly the one in the Largo movement, have been widely recognized and adapted, contributing to the symphony's enduring significance.
