| 'What I compose is and always 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 Hall on 15 December 1893 are aIl 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 meIodies, foot-tapping rhythms, burnished brass intonations, melIow woodwind Iines and other Bohemian traits that would be unthinkabIe without the piIIars of Austro-Germanic music. 'I simpIy wrote down themes of my own invention and gave them eIements typicaI of the music of the Negroes and Indians. l then used these themes as subjects, developing them with aIl the resources of rhythm, harmony and counterpoint, and with all the colors of the modern orchestra,' the composer once said. lnterestingIy, the galley proofs of the work were corrected by none other than Johannes Brahms. Of course, the work would most probabIy 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. |
