Summary
Chronicles Anton Dvorak's sojourn in America at the turn of the century, when he was persuaded by Jeannette Thurber to leave his native Bohemia and become director of her National Conservatory of Music
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
An exuberant tour de force. âJames Marcus, The Nation
Here is a wonderfully imagined picture of a little known period in American musical history. In 1892, at the height of his prodigious powers, Antonin Dvorak was persuaded to leave his native Bohemia to come to New York to be director of the National Conservatory for Music. In this exuberant novel, Josef Skvorecky tells the story of Dvorakâs utterly requited love affair with young America, the anthem of which is his famous Symphony in E Minor, âFrom the New World.âEditions
