先謝謝“千裏“的指教。受Longfellow 影響較大的是第三樂章，而不是第二。詳細見內...

Dvorak's From the New World

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_New_World

The symphony was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, and premiered on December 16, 1893 at Carnegie Hall
(which was the home of the Philharmonic until 1962), conducted by Anton Seidl. A day earlier, in an article published in the
New York Herald on December 15, 1893, Dvořák further explained how Native American music had been an influence on this
symphony:

"I have not actually used any of the [Native American] melodies. I have simply written original themes embodying the
peculiarities of the Indian music, and, using these themes as subjects, have developed them with all the resources of
modern rhythms, counterpoint, and orchestral color."

In the same article, Dvořák stated that he regarded the symphony's second movement as a "sketch or study for a later work,
either a cantata or opera ... which will be based upon Longfellow's [The Song of] Hiawatha" (he never actually wrote such a
piece). He also wrote that the third movement scherzo was "suggested by the scene at the feast in Hiawatha where the
Indians dance".


Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_Hiawatha

Antonín Dvořák was familiar with the work (here it's Longfellow's poem "The Song of Hiawatha") in Czech translation.
In an article published in the New York Herald on December 15,1893, he stated that the second movement of
his Symphony No. 9, From the New World, was a "sketch or study for a later work, either a cantata or opera ... which will
be based upon Longfellow's Hiawatha" and that the third movement scherzo was "suggested by the scene at the feast
in Hiawatha where the Indians dance."

Dvorak自己都承認，第三樂章受Longfellow的詩"The Song of Hiawatha"影響較大，而第二樂章Dvorak想擴而張之，
再寫一部opera 或 cantata（大合唱曲），而根據的就可能是（注意裏麵用詞 "will be based upon") Longfellow 的
那首詩。
