Classical Music Playlist, November 16, 2022
After teaching for three years in New York, Czech composer Antonin Dvorak returned to Prague and took four months off. During this time he shed the “American” influence that colored his brilliant “American” compositions, then returned to writing Czech-themed opera, fairy tales and symphonic poems. And his two final String Quartets. Unlike his “American” String Quartet No. 12 written in America in 1893, Dvorak’s final String Quartet, No. 14 finished in late December 1895, is in his native Czech accent. It’s today’s Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
