i have favourited and added this to my playlists!! this was played at the crematorium when we went to see my grandad one last time, and i can remember this song playing in the background, thanks for the post...

Thanks for this. We've been listening to this for a bit of inspiration. My nine year old, is learning to play this piece on his tenor horn and wanted to know what it was "meant to sound like". Wish we could find more of his pieces to listen to for help.

@SuperMusicManiac13 Oh, okay. yeah i play trombone and trumpet and maybe french horn. cooliyo

[SuperMusicManiac13]

@IMEMYSELFHI435 the guy whos playing euphonium (lance la duke) also plays trombone for the boston brass but switches on and off in songs

[IMEMYSELFHI435]

i love brass instruments but wheres the trombone?

[RLJB25]

@superpaperdude Agree'd!! I'm sure he was missing home as any artist/ person would when their away!! I just find it FASCINATING what Dvorak consitantly says about his inspriations for the song!! These facts about Native and African culture/ influence and its MASSIVE impact on western society always get dismissed and never brought into the limelight unfortunatly... !!! Great Composition!! Great talk!! Peace and Blessings!!

@RLJB25 honestly, I think it is a little of both. Like i said, you can hear the influences in this piece. and, at the museum at the house he wrote it in, they had writings by him indicating that he was indeed wanting to return to Czech at the time.

@RLJB25 very good...sure is nice to run into someone on the internet who is intelligent and cultured...I have heard of that quote before, and if you listen closely to Largo, you can hear the ethnic influences in the song.
