Description
|
|
|
|
The music of Antonin Dvorák (1841–1904) defies fashion. He is one of the few composers whose works entered the international mainstream during his own lifetime, and many have remained there ever since. David Hurwitz, a percussionist in New York City and the founder of Classicstoday.com and the Classical Internet Awards, discusses themes of some 90 works by Dvorák. The book includes two audio CDs, containing 22 pieces that illustrate Hurwitz's commentary, including the third movement of Symphony No. 6 in D Major, Op. 60 (Scherzo); the Act 2 Overture for The Devil and Kate, Op. 112; and Slavonic Dances, Series II, Op. 72: No. 5 in B-flat Major.
