The Dvorak page went up today. Just three pieces but lovely memories of Prague.
The Humoresque No 7 is probably one of the most famous pieces of its kind and the Slavonic Dance evokes a passionate commitment to Czech national culture - a kind of civilised individualism which is evident in the Republic today despite the best (or is that worst) efforts of two of the most repressive totalitarian regimes.
There is more to come here when we get to grips with more complex orchestrations.
