The Profile

Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) was a Czech late‑Romantic composer celebrated for his symphonies, chamber music and incorporation of Bohemian folk elements.

Served as director of the National Conservatory in New York (1892); composed the Symphony No.9 'From the New World' during his American period; voiced interest in African American and Native American melodies as influences on American music.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Dvořák's gift for melody and his blend of Bohemian folk spirit with late‑Romantic form. The New World Symphony and the Piano Quintet Op.81 are singled out. Reviews highlight evocative orchestration and expressive chamber writing.
