| Abstract |
In this book, the author weaves the story of Dvorak's life into the rich tapestry of the political and social tensions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the twilight of its power. The author sets the scene for Dvorak's "American" music and his return from the United States, providing a fascinating context for his most famous work, the ninth symphony From the New World. |
