| Abstract | In the spring of 1985, the author journeyed with a group of friends and family members to the small Iowa farming community of Spillville, where Antonin Dvorak and his family spent the summer of 1893. The American Midwestern landscape, past and present, is the subject of Spillville, along with Dvorak and the music he composed there. |
