Excellent first movement, lento, and finale, my favorite three movements. This quartet is so richly folksy it is uncanny, same with his quintet op. 97 which should always be paired with 'The American' on disc. Wonderfully virtuosic performers at the top of their craft play marvelously this timeless classic. I am touched as always by this great composition.

I would hope that is widely known that Dvorak introduced Americans to their own music, beautifully played here by The Dvorak Quartet.
@composerlecturer8 жыл бұрын
Well, not really, since it was all by Dvorak. But he was asked to find what makes American music "American". The Dvorak museum in Spillville, IA, has a copy of a letter in which he expresses the intense loneliness of the broad expanses of prairie drew from him. And the finale is absolutely a musical depiction of his rail journey to Iowa. Please note how pentatonic the music is. This reflected his study of Native and African-American music, which has quite a bit of pentatonic melody. Before and after his American period he rarely if ever used pentatonicism. But others before him had other ideas about that question. Try the 1859 Niagara Symphony by William Henry Fry (1813-1864) to hear a really amazing depiction of an American natural wonder. It was composed the same year as Tristan, and unlike Wagner, Fry actually ends the piece with an unresolved diminished chord! ' That said, Dvorak's American period has some of his greatest pieces.

He suffered from agoraphobia, was afraid of open spaces, busy streets, town squares etc....but mostly when he got older it was more acute....He loved the beach, the sea and women swimming in sea in England....so maybe he wasnt as much afraid....because he loved nature, he loved forests....I think his talent was stronger than his phobia in some times probably. People who suffer from agoraphobia are afraid to leave their home...He was famly guy so he wanted to get back to Europe...but it seems he liked England and America, because he learned lot of things. He said he would never write quintet with two violins and quartet F-major if he would never visit America.

There is something odd about one of the sets of parts to this piece. At precisely 26:17 in this performance, the viola plays a low f on the second beat when the other players rest on the second beat and play an 8th note pick up to the next measure. In the score, this is 3 and 4 measures before rehearsal number "8" in the fourth movement. In the full score, all four instruments play off the beat. The Emerson quartet makes the same "mistake" and I believe that the Guanari Quartet also make the same "mistake." But the Prazak Quartet played that part "correctly" according to the full score. I can only believe that there is a set of parts that differ just in those two measures in the viola part. If you list to the Prazak quartet play at the same spot you can hear the difference.
@davidyoung63317 жыл бұрын
I have learned more about this curiosity since I made the original post three weeks ago. It turns out that the Autograph score by Dvorak was somewhat sloppily written at this part of the fourth movement and the interpretation by Simrock (his publisher) was to have the Viola play a different rhythm than the other instruments for these two measures. Dvorak did not intend that, and later corrected the score. The viola part was corrected by later publishers, having all four instruments playing the same rhythm. But the error persisted in many published parts and can still be found today, for instance, parts published by Kalmus and others. So the "mistake" was made in the very beginning of the publishing process. I suppose that there may still be some controversy here. For example, the Dolazel string quartet (a contemporary professional quartet) prefers the altered viola part. But most professional ensembles play with the corrected viola part that plays the same rhythm of the other three string players.
@violinhunter27 жыл бұрын
Yes, quite right. However, I like the way it sounds with the mistake. I trust Dvorak had a chance to actually hear it with the viola note in the wrong place.
@davidyoung63314 жыл бұрын
@@violinhunter2 I don't know if he did. Good questions. He was aware of the error in the parts and asked that it be correct. It does work both ways and it would be "Dvorak" either way. It is more of a curiosity than an outright error.
