DVORAK'S E Flat String Quartet (his Op.
51) contains a wealth of his characteristic idioms and happy strokes. In the FIRST MOVEMENT, for instance, the Second Main Tune (introduced by a number of octave leaps by all hands) has a countrified swing in it that reminds us of Dvorak's intense appreciation of Bohemian folk-tunes. Some of his sudden changes of key-the skips into a new one and back again, are also very characteristic.
The SECOND MOVEMENT shows the national influence again, being cast in the form of the Bohemian Dumka ' Elegy). Tho second portion of the Movement is in quicker time, and is chiefly based on a theme like a waltz, its opening notes resembling those of the Movement's First Main Time.
The THIRD MOVEMENT is a short
Romance in flowing style.
The LAST MOVEMENT is a Rondo, on a very jolly Main Tune, which, with numerous supporting and contrasting themes, gives one an overflowing measure of melodies to carry away in one's head.
