\'Antonin Dvorak was a \'popular\' composer in the true sense, drawing on folk music and national legend for his material. A handful of his works is familiar to anyone with a claim to love good music, but a great quantity of his other equally fine music is sadly less known than it deserves: his operas, for instance, to which he attached great importance, are seldom performed outside Central and Eastern Europe.\' Enjoy this detailed exploration of his work or share it with the music lover in your life.  Though the cover is a bit worn with age (see images), the book itself is very well kept, with a strong spine and clean pages.
