| Added by magataganm, 11 Apr 2024 Antonín Leopold Dvorák (1841 - 1904) was a Czech composer. Dvorák frequently employed rhythms and other aspects of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia, following the Romantic-era nationalist example of his predecessor BedÅ™ich Smetana. Dvorák's style has been described as "the fullest recreation of a national idiom with that of the symphonic tradition, absorbing folk influences and finding effective ways of using them," and he himself has been described as "arguably the most versatile... composer of his time". He displayed his musical gifts at an early age, being an apt violin student. The first public performances of his works were in Prague in 1872 and, with special success, in 1873, when he was 31 years old. Seeking recognition beyond the Prague area, he submitted scores of symphonies and other works to German and Austrian competitions. He did not win a prize until 1874, with Johannes Brahms on the jury of the Austrian State Competition. In 1877, after his third win, Brahms recommended Dvorák to his publisher, Simrock, who commissioned what became the Slavonic Dances, Op. 46. The sheet music's high sales and critical reception led to his international success. A London performance of Dvorák's Stabat Mater in 1883 led to many other performances in the United Kingdom, the United States, and eventually Russia in March 1890. The Seventh Symphony was written for London in 1885. Humoresques (Czech: Humoresky), Op. 101 (B. 187), is a piano cycle by the Czech composer Antonín DvoÅ™ák, written during the summer of 1894. Music critic David Hurwitz says "the seventh Humoresque is probably the most famous small piano work ever written after Beethoven's Für Elise. During his stay in United States, when DvoÅ™ák was director of the Conservatory in New York from 1892 to 1895, the composer collected many interesting musical themes in his sketchbooks. He used some of these ideas in other compositions, notably the "New World" Symphony, the "American" String Quartet, the Quintet in Eâ™ major, and the Sonatina for Violin, but some remained unused. In 1894 DvoÅ™ák spent the summer with his family in Bohemia, at Vysoká u PÅ™íbrami. During this "vacation", DvoÅ™ák began to use the collected material and to compose a new cycle of short piano pieces. On 19 July 1894, DvoÅ™ák sketched the first Humoresque in B major, today number 6 in the cycle. However, the composer soon started to create scores for the pieces that were intended to be published. The score was completed on 27 August 1894. The cycle was entitled Humoresques shortly before DvoÅ™ák sent the score to his German publisher F. Simrock. The composition was published by Simrock in Autumn, 1894. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humoresques_(Dvo%C5%99%C 3%A1k)). Although originally composed for Solo Piano, I created this Arrangement of The Humoresque in Gb Major (Op. 101 B. 187 No. 7) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
