Weekend of November 13, 2010
Dvorak from New York
He was a relatively unknown composer, 33 years old. Getting to a point where, if you're still an unknown composer, you're likely to remain an unknown composer. But despite a slow-moving career, 1875 was a good year for Antonin Dvorak. He was newly and happily married. And there was a glimmer of hope for his career: Austria gave Dvorak a stipend based on the promise of his work, some real encouragement to continue. Over the course of about ten days in May, he wrote a lilting String Serenade. This weekend, we'll hear music by the not-yet-famous Dvorak, in concert at Carnegie Hall.
