 Antonin Dvorak - NPRN Composer of the Month
But the youngster loathed the job, and his musical talent caused him to undertake schooling in locations where there were more musical opportunities and where he could improve his mastery of German.
By 1887 Dvorak's music was universally popular, so that Richter's performance of the Symphonic Variations that year was described by him as the most successful performance of a new piece he had ever experienced (interestingly, the piece had made no impression when led by Dvorak in Prague a decade earlier).
Brahms admired Dvorak's music for the characteristic melodic charm that tends to be lacking from his own music, and mostly defended Dvorak's music to those who compared it unfavorably to his own, admitting that he'd have done things differently but that there is great beauty in Dvorak's music anyway.

 Borodin
However it was entirely in character that early in 1887 he returned from an important academic engagement to attend a fancy dress ball at the Academy.
Borodin's music does not express the feelings of a personal soul but those of a national one as he wanted to write music that spoke to all Russians.
Borodin's music is full of romantic charm and enticing melody and much of it also rings with the pageantry and landscape of old Russia; of onion-domed churches, richly decorated icons, and the vastness of the land.
