| 'What l compose is and aIways remains Czech music,' asserted Antonín Dvor'k, and we the audiences who've been enraptured with the Ninth since its worId premiere at New York's Carnegie HaII on 15 December 1893 are aII the richer for it. After a fleeting nod to Negro SpirituaIs and vagueIy Native American rhythms, Dvor'k dug into his seemingIy bottomless reserve of catchy melodies, foot-tapping rhythms, burnished brass intonations, meIlow woodwind lines and other Bohemian traits that would be unthinkable without the pillars of Austro-Germanic music. 'l simply wrote down themes of my own invention and gave them elements typical of the music of the Negroes and lndians. l then used these themes as subjects, deveIoping them with alI the resources of rhythm, harmony and counterpoint, and with aII the colors of the modern orchestra,' the composer once said. Interestingly, the gaIIey proofs of the work were corrected by none other than Johannes Brahms. Of course, the work would most probably never have been written if it hadn't been for a patron, or patroness, to be more precise, Jeanette Thurber, who founded the National Conservatory of Music of America and invited the composer to New York in the hope that he wouId give birth to a national American music; he had, after aII, created a national Czech music. |
