It premiered in New York City on 16 December 1893.[1] It is one of the most popular of all symphonies.[2] In older literature and recordings, this symphony was – as for its first publication – numbered as Symphony No. 5. The symphony was completed in the building that now houses the Bily Clocks Museum in Spillville, Iowa.[3]
Antonín Leopold Dvo?ák (/d(?)?v??r?ɑ?k, -?æk/d(?-)VOR-zha(h)k; Czech: [?anto?i?n ?l?opold ?dvor?a?k]?; 8 September 1841 – 1 May 1904) was a Czech composer. He frequently employed rhythms and other aspects of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia, following the Romantic-era nationalist example of his predecessor Bed?ich Smetana. Dvo?ák's style has been described as "the fullest recreation of a national idiom with that of the symphonic tradition, absorbing folk influences and finding effective ways of using them,"[1] and Dvo?ák has been described as "arguably the most versatile... composer of his time".[2]@zhonghuang7987
