Dvorak and His World by Michael Beckerman
Comprising both interpretive essays and a selection of documents that bear on Dvorak's career and music, this volume addresses fundamental questions about the composer while presenting an argument for a radical reappraisal.
"The image of the composer Antonin Dvorak as a Czech visionary who ventured into the exotic cultural habitat of nineteenth century America is brilliantly portrayed.. The five critical essays which make up the first part of the book create a multifaceted portrait of the composer within the musical vanguard of Prague and New York."--Slavic Review
Michael Beckerman is Associate Professor of Music at Washington University in St. Louis.
