Program Notes
Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances established his reputation as a composer, although a previous patriotic cantata brought him to the attention of musicians. The success of this work was striking, for in it he first made use of the national idiom. But the popularity of the dances spread his name far and wide among the lay public.
No. 7 in C Minor is a SKOCNA, a dance involving leaping or hopping. According to the Czech writer Jiri Berkovec, the rhythm, melodic contour, and general structure of this piece conform to the outlines of the tetka (“auntie” dance) of the Haná region, and it is rounded off by a lively polka.
—Program note by Julian Seaman/Great Orchestral Music/Richard Freed
