Seller's Description:
New York. 1987. January 1987. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394546814. Translated from the Czech by Paul Wilson. 325 pages. hardcover. Cover: Fred Marcellino. keywords: Literature Translated Czech Eastern Europe. FROM THE PUBLISHER-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 of Music. From this biographical footnote, Josef Skvorecky has fashioned a splendid tale: the story of Dvorak's utterly requited love affair with America, the anthem of which is his famous Symphony No. s in E Minor, ‘From the New World. ' Skvorecky gives us an affectionate portrait of a devout, guileless, greatly modest man (known to his students in New York as ‘Old Borax' because they could not cope with his Slavic name), and a wonderfully imagined picture of a little-known period in American musical history, when black composers, musicians, and singers enjoyed a sovereignty they could find nowhere else in American life, and when America (owing in part to Dvorak's influence) first turned to its own cultural roots for musical inspiration. inventory #33796.
