Dvořák: Serenade for Strings and Slavonic Dances
In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month is about Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. In a burst of inspiration in May 1875, he wrote his beloved Serenade for Strings in just two weeks. A blend of lyrical and playful elements, the work unfolds across five movements, each marked by its own distinct character. Another Dvořák favourite among the audiences is Slavonic Dances, a series of 16 orchestral pieces composed between 1878 and 1886 and published in two sets. The series is inspired by Brahms’s Hungarian Dances.
