Jeannette Thurber, who had founded the National Conservatory of Music in New York City, hoped to find in Dvorak a director for her institution who could inspire the ‘New World' to create for itself its own ‘national' music. Her choice proved felicitous—Dvorak's success during his stay in the United States is well-known—but it was far from being an easy decision for the composer, who was reluctant to leave behind his homeland and ongoing projects. After a year's hesitation, he sailed for New York on September 16, 1892. One must remember that Dvorak had developed a highly personal style in the years leading up to his departure, a style that masterfully integrated his deep Slavic inspiration with the classical models championed at the time by his friend and supporter Johannes Brahms. This personal style succeeded well, and his celebrity now extended well beyond the confines of Bohemia; at the pinnacle of his powers, the same reasons seemed to call him away and hold him back. It was at this critical point in his career, during the same month when he received the request from New York, that Dvorak premièred (himself at the piano) his last and most famous trio, the so-called Dumky, Op. 90, on April 11, 1891, during a concert at Prague's Charles University at which he was awarded an honourary doctorate. Later, Dvorak played the work during a forty concert farewell tour of Bohemia and Moravia, from January to May 1891, along with the violinist Ferdinand Lachner and the cellist Hanus Wihan (for whom Dvorak was to compose the Concerto in B minor, Op. 104). Begun in 1890, the Dumky Trio stands out from the entire repertoire for piano trio; the traditional formal scheme of four movements is here replaced by a free succession of six dumky.","brand":"Naxos Deutschland Musik \u0026 Video Vertriebs-GmbH \/ Poing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53913488064854,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/gryphon-trio-klaviertrios-0774204311025","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
