The usual order of movements merely provides the framework here for the interplay of fresh melodies and highly personal instrumental effects, which can no longer be derived from the model of Brahms. A rhapsodic feeling pervades the entire work, which was created between August 26 and November 8, 1889.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDvořák\u003c\/strong\u003e complained at the time that his head was so full of melodies that his hand was hardly able to put them on paper fast enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis abundance of ideas determined the character of the entire work: seemingly without pausing, \u003cstrong\u003eDvořák\u003c\/strong\u003e poured melody after melody, invented unusual combinations of sounds, and let major and minor episodes alternate in close proximity. A typical ballad-like feature is the beginning of the Allegro con brio in minor; then an ascending arpeggio figure in the flute leads into major and establishes the crucial dotted rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis movement is typical of \u003cstrong\u003eDvořák's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"\u003cstrong\u003eSlavonic\u003c\/strong\u003e\" period; it can be considered a musical reflection of the Bohemian character – fiery one moment, lost in melancholy the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Adagio in E-flat major continues this rhapsodic tone, with abruptly broken themes, interplay between strings and woodwinds, short and remarkably original development sections, rapid and unexpected contrasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introductory theme of the Adagio is transformed in the third movement into a waltz in 3\/8 time, beginning in G minor and unfolding with symphonic elan. In the rhythmically striking G major trio, the woodwinds quote a cheerful, bucolic melody from \u003cstrong\u003eDvořák's\u003c\/strong\u003e comic opera \"\u003cstrong\u003eThe Blockhead\u003c\/strong\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA challenging trumpet fanfare announces the finale, whose dance-like 2\/4 theme is transformed into lively variations. The opening motif of the variation theme is the same broken G major triad that had shaped the form of the main theme of the first movement in a similar rhythmic form. The variations proceed uncomplicatedly, with rich figuration, while the basic theme frequently comes powerfully to the fore. This finale proves that a powerful theme, skillfully orchestrated, can be repeated again and again without becoming boring. A stretto, whose elan would make Tchaikovsky proud, concludes the variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDvořák\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated the \u003cstrong\u003eG Major Symphony\u003c\/strong\u003e to the \"\u003cstrong\u003eBohemian Franz Joseph Academy\u003c\/strong\u003e for the Promotion of Art and Literature\". He conducted the premiere in February 1890 in Prague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the score was first published by Novello in London, this work is sometimes misleadingly known as the \"English Symphony\". In fact, it is one of \u003cstrong\u003eDvořák's\u003c\/strong\u003e essentially Bohemian compositions, the Slavic symphony par excellence, created by a musician who was close to nature and deeply connected to his homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Deutsche Grammophon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading leading-none title-sm text-left md:text-left size-style\"\u003eTRACK LIST\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte body text-base leading-normal text-inherit md:text-inherit size-style\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e01 Allegro con brio\u003cbr\u003e02 Adagio\u003cbr\u003e03 Allegretto grazioso\u003cbr\u003e04 Allegro, ma non troppo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"group-block group-block--height-fit group-block--width-fill size-style relative\" id=\"shopify-block-Aa0xWdkxONEdUZEFsV__group_pzx3gR\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"group-block__content w-full h-full relative flex flex-col justify-center items-start flex-nowrap spacing-style\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading leading-none title-sm text-left md:text-left size-style\"\u003eSTANDARD MASTER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte body text-base leading-normal text-inherit md:text-inherit size-style\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTape material: \u003c\/strong\u003eRTM\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eLPR90\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTape size: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/4 inch\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks: \u003c\/strong\u003e2-track\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReels: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 metal reel\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayback speed: \u003c\/strong\u003e38cm\/sec - 15 IPS\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzimuth: \u003c\/strong\u003eCCIR or NAB\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagnetic flux density: \u003c\/strong\u003e320 nWB\/m\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: \u003c\/strong\u003eRevox Music Deluxe packaging with archive boxes\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur mastering\u003c\/strong\u003e: analog mastered for tape by Christoph Stickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"group-block group-block--height-fit group-block--width-fill size-style relative\" id=\"shopify-block-ANDFKNlUzN3FrRVluN__group_8Y8JQA\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"group-block__content w-full h-full relative flex flex-col justify-center items-start flex-nowrap spacing-style\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading leading-none title-sm text-left md:text-left size-style\"\u003eSTUDIO MASTER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte body text-base leading-normal text-inherit md:text-inherit size-style\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTape material: \u003c\/strong\u003eRTM\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSM900\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTape size: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/4 inch\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks: \u003c\/strong\u003e2-track\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReels: \u003c\/strong\u003e2 precision metal reels\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayback speed: \u003c\/strong\u003e38 cm\/sec - 15 IPS\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzimuth: \u003c\/strong\u003eCCIR\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagnetic flux density: \u003c\/strong\u003e510 nWb\/m\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: \u003c\/strong\u003eRevox Music Deluxe packaging with archive boxes\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur mastering\u003c\/strong\u003e: analog mastered for tape by Christoph Stickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Revox","offers":[{"title":"Standard Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":54426802159963,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Master \/ N\/A","offer_id":54426802192731,"sku":null,"price":545.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Studio Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":54426802225499,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/9578\/0955\/files\/IMG_2336.jpg?v=1752086776","url":"https:\/\/highendgalerie.ch\/en\/products\/revox-master-tape-antonin-dvorak-symphonie-nr-8-g-dur-op-88","provider":"Highend Galerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
