Dvořák was born on September 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves, near Prague (then Austrian Empire, today the Czech Republic), where he spent most of his life. His father was a butcher, innkeeper, and professional player of the zither. Dvořák's parents recognized his musical talent early, and he received his earliest musical education at the village school which he entered in 1847. He studied music in Prague's only Organ School at the end of the 1850s, and gradually developed into an accomplished violinist and violist. Throughout the 1860s he played viola in the Bohemian Provisional Theater Orchestra, which from 1866 was conducted by Bedřich Smetana. The need to supplement his income by teaching left Dvořák with limited free time, and in 1871 he gave up playing in the orchestra in order to compose. During this time, Dvořák fell in love with one of his pupils and wrote a song cycle, Cypress Trees, that expressed his anguish at her marriage to another man. However in 1873 he married his pupil's sister, Anna Čermakova. They had nine children.
At about this time Dvořák began to be recognized as a significant composer. He became organist at St. Adalbert's Church, Prague, and began a period of prolific composition. Dvořák composed his second string quintet in 1875, and in 1877, the critic Eduard Hanslick informed him that his music had attracted the attention of Johannes Brahms, whom he later befriended. Brahms contacted the musical publisher Simrock, who as a result commissioned Dvořák's Slavonic Dances. Published in 1878, these were an immediate success. Dvořák's Stabat Mater (1880) was performed abroad, and after a successful performance in London in 1883, Dvořák was invited to visit England where he appeared to great acclaim in 1884. His Symphony No. 7 was commissioned for London; it premiered there in 1885. In 1891 Dvořák received an honorary degree from Cambridge University, and his Requiem Mass premiered later that year in Birmingham at the Triennial Music Festival.
America (1892--1895)
From 1892 to 1895, Dvořák was the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City, at a then-staggering $15,000 annual salary. The Conservatory had been founded by a wealthy and philanthropic socialite, Jeannette Thurber; it was located at 126-128 East 17th Street[1] [2], but was demolished in 1911 and replaced by what is now a high school. Here Dvořák met with Harry Burleigh, one of the earliest African-American composers, although Burleigh was never his pupil. Burleigh introduced traditional American Spirituals to Dvořák at the latter's request.
In the winter and spring of 1893, while in New York, Dvořák wrote his most popular work, the Symphony No.9, "From the New World". He spent the summer of 1893 with his family in the Czech-speaking community of Spillville, Iowa, to which some of his cousins had earlier immigrated. While there he composed two of his most famous chamber works, the String Quartet in F (the "American"), and the String Quintet in E flat. In the same vein of American inspiration, he also wrote a Sonatina for violin and piano.
Over the course of three months in 1895, Dvořák wrote his Cello Concerto in B minor, which was to become one of his most popular works. However, problems with Mrs. Thurber about his salary, together with increasing recognition in Europe — he had been made an honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna — and homesickness made him decide to return to Bohemia. He left New York before the end of the spring term.
Dvořák's New York home was located at 327 East 17th Street near Perlman Place [3]. It was in this home that the Ninth Symphony was written. Despite protests, from the then Czech President Václav Havel amongst others, who wanted the house preserved as a historical site, it was demolished to make room for a Beth Israel Medical Center residence for people with AIDS. To honor Dvořák, however, a statue of him was erected in Stuyvesant Square [4] [2].
Later career
During his final years, Dvořák's compositional work centred on opera and chamber music. In 1896 he visited London for the last time to hear the premiere of his Cello Concerto. In 1897 his daughter married his pupil, the composer Josef Suk. Dvořák was director of the Conservatory in Prague from 1901 until his death in 1904. He is interred in the Vyšehrad cemetery in Prague.

замечательный древний гимн "Свете Тихий", одно из главных песнопений вечерни, восходящее ко II или III веку. Это текст созерцательного характера, от света заходящего солнца возносящий нас к размышлению о Христе, Свете Немеркнущем и Незаходящем. Господь назван в нем "Свете Тихий святыя славы Бессмертного Отца Небеснаго": "Свете Тихий святыя славы Бессмертнаго Отца Небеснаго, Святаго, Блаженнаго, Иисусе Христе! Пришедше на запад солнца, видевше свет вечерний, поем Отца, Сына и Святаго Духа Бога. Достоин еси во вся времена пет быть гласы преподобными. Сыне Божий, живот даяй; темже мир Тя славит".

There is apparently some confusion regarding the Dvořák Slavonic Dances. I have check with two friends whom I believe have a respectable knowledge of the subject. From one I have, in excerpt:
"Dvorak published two series of Slavonic dances, opus 46 (1878) and opus 72 (1886). There are eight dances in each series, total 16 dances. These were composed for piano duet, and the composer also orchestrated them. ..."
From the other:
"It is in fact no. 2 originally in E minor, transposed to G minor. The violin versions may be numbered differently than the piano versions - the same thing occurred with the Brahms Hungarian Dances and Liszt Rhapsodies in their versions for orchestra, as all were not orchestrated." As he added in the comment section.
Thank you both very much for you input and time. It's much appreciated.
I have not changed the title of the clip in keeping with the original record label. It would eventually cause even more confusion were I to change it, I believe. I think most YouTubers are smart enough to read the descriptive here before commenting.
Respectfully,
