DVORAK'S success in English-speaking countries while at the height of his career was duo to fortuitous circumstances. Brahms' friendship for him naturally influenced Brahms' friends, many of whom were English. He had, too, an astute publisher who knew that trade followed the pianoforte duet. He was invited to England, triumphed, and was asked again and again. Presently America had need of him. He was offered, and ho accepted, the directorship of the New York National Conservatory of Music, remained there greatly appreciated for three years, and absorbed a flood of national impressions. Of these he made good use in a number of works of that period, particularly in the New World Symphony, one of the most brilliant symphonies in the whole repertory.
