Antonin Dvorak (Nelahozeves, Bohemia, 1841 - Praga, 1904) was a Czech composer. In 1892, he came to America and rest here until 1895.
His works display the influences of folk music, mainly Czech (furiant and dumky dance traits, polka rhythms, immediate repetition of an initial bar) but also ones that might equally be seen as American. [1]
