In autumn
1895, after returning
from New York once and
for all, Dvorák took
up his former position as
teacher at the Prague
Conservatory. This
clearly had an inspiring
impact on him because in
the space of just four
weeks he composed a new
string quartet in G
major. Together with the
Quartet in A-flat major
op. 105, it forms a
glorious close to his
chamber music oeuvre.
Echoes of Bohemian folk
music are here mixed with
cantabile themes, while
his motivic working shows
him to be a master at the
height of his powers.
Even today, it seems
almost as if we can feel
the composer's
satisfaction with this
work: “I am working
so easily and it is going
so smoothly that I could
not wish it
better.â€.
