Overture di Ballo Sullivan New World Symphony
Dvorak
Adagio — allegretto molto; Largo ; Scherzo ; Allegro con fuoco
THIS, much the best-
JL known of Dvorak's
Symphonies, has had a large share in making him the popular composer he undoubtedly is. In its original form, for orchestra, and in arrangements and transcriptions of many kinds, much of it is so well known as to be heard almost daily.
There are four movements, the first beginning with a short, slow introduction, and proceeding to a quick section in the usual way, with two chief themes, both characterized by strong virile rhythm.
The slow movement has also two main tunes, the first played by the English Horn, the big brother of the oboe, the second by the clarinet.
The Scherzo, which follows, is so full of tunes that instead of the customary repetitions, we have here fresh material. It is full of gaiety and bright spirits, and at the end there is a little reminder of the first movement.
This is true of the last movement also, snatches of the other movements making their way into it here and there. But, like the first, it has two main tunes, both making their effect largely by vivid rhytlmi.
