After a highly successful visit to England in March, 1884, and another later in the year, Dvorak was assured of the esteem and affection of the English people. When he came again in 1890, he was naturally invited to conduct at a concert of the Philharmonic Society. 
For this occasion he had brought the score and parts of a new symphony which was exceedingly well received. This was the Fourth Symphony (Op. 88, in G), one of his most delightful works, brim full of lovely melody and scored with those transparent orchestral colours that infallibly proclaimed the hand of Dvorak. No other composer has ever come so near to Schubert's ' linked sweetness long drawn out ', and this symphony is one of the most Schubertian of all his works. 
Dvorak's Fifth Symphony, ' The 
New World ', ranks with Schubert's ' Unfinished ' and Tchaikovsky's ' Pathetic ' as one of the most justly popular of all symphonies; if the Fourth was better known, it would speedily rival ' The New World '.

In 1873 Victor Hartmann , a well-known architect and painter, member of Balakirev's circle, and close friend of Stassov, the critic, and Mussorgsky, died at the early age of thirty-nine. Mussorgsky was deeply upset and in the following year when Stassov arranged an exhibition of Hartmann's water colours and drawings', he was moved to compose a 'cycle of . ten piano pieces based on various subjects from Hartmann's pictures. These he entitled ' Pictures from an Exhibition '. 
Mussorgsky appears to have been highly stimulated with the idea, for in a letter to Stassov, to whom the work is dedicated, he says: 'Hartmann is bubbling over, just as Boris Godunov did. Ideas, melodies, come to me of their own accord .. I can hardly manage to put it all down on paper fast enough.' One of these ideas was an introduction under the title of ' Promenade ', which represents the spectator walking through the exhibition, and as he moves on from one picture to another a modified version of it reappears. Mussorgsky was particularly pleased with these ' promenades ', and asserted that his ' own physiognomy peeps all through ' them.
