| Abstract |
The author invites the reader to explore Dvorak's creative personality as a whole through encounters with 90 of his well-known, and barely known but undeservedly neglected, works. Measure by measure, Hurwitz probes the genius behind Dvorak's extraordinary achievement. He also tells the amazing tale of how a kid from the Bohemian countryside created a musical language of universal appeal and in the process gave an entire nation its musical identity. |
