Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) began working on his Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "Fromthe New World" in the first few months of 1893, during his stay in the USAwhere, in the years1892-1895, he was director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York.While he didnot leave behind any programme description for the symphony, he, himself,stated that hehad at that time been greatly influenced by reading the epic poem The Song ofHiawatha byHenry Wadsworth Longfellow. Inspiration from the epic is cited both inconnection withthe celebrated Largo, describing the woodland burial of Minnehaha, and with thefollowingScherzo - an Indian ceremonial dance which here, however, also incorporates aCzech folkdance. Even in the last movement, Allegro con fuoco, written in sonata formlike the firstmovement, Adagio. Allegro molto, the second subject is a reminiscence of aCzech folkmelody. Dvorak's famous symphony is here published as a piano arrangement aspart ofthe series "Popular Edition". Arranged for piano by Karel Solc.
