	Linn Records - Dvorak Violin Concerto in A minor
		Dvorak wrote the Violin Concerto during the summer of 1879 as his reputation was fast acquiring its international dimension.
		For Dvorak, who was usually receptive to Keller’s suggestions, the time for accommodation was past, and he refused to make this change, not least, perhaps, because the passage linking first and second movements is one of the loveliest in the concerto.
		Dvorak’s best known piano music, in the shape of the “Slavonic Dances” and “Legends”, are duets, but he also wrote numerous collections of pieces for two hands.

		Antonin Dvorak was born in Nelahozeves, Bohemia, in 1841, son of a butcher.

	Antonin Dvorak - NPRN Composer of the Month
		Dvorak left the orchestra in 1871, when he was 30, in order to have more time for composition, but that meant that for a number of years his income was meager and primarily the result of teaching (and he did have a church job for three years beginning in 1874).
		Dvorak rocketed to fame on the shoulders of his first set of Slavonic Dances, published in 1878; once these were overwhelmingly successful Simrock was always eager to publish more works by Dvorak, and once his music was published Dvorak did not need to work so hard to promote his music.
		Dvorak's role was to be a figurehead for the conservatory and to see what he could do to help found a national school (in the larger sense) of composition.

		Antonin and Anna were married in November of that same year with her mother's blessing, the securing of which probably was made significantly smoother by the fact that Dvorak's star was clearly on the rise.

	Antonin Dvorak - Stabat Mater (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), of course, is better known as composer of instrumental music; however, his vocal music is substantial and helped to establish his international reputation.
		Well suited to the native choral tradition, the Stabat Mater was a resounding success in England and Dvorak conducted several performances including one in 1884 in London, which he described as making "a tremendous impression." Indeed, the reception of his choral music there inspired him to compose his great Requiem, premiered in Birmingham in 1891.
		As in much of Dvorak's music, he achieves a cohesive structure through a sense of emotional unity rather than through any classical architecture.
