Czech composer Antonín Dvořák
Czech composer Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 has been called his equivalent to Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony No. 6, but very much of the Bohemian countryside. And in both of them, a love of life inspired by nature. Composed in the summer and early autumn of 1889 at his summer home, Dvořák’s Eighth’s alternates in moods from pastoral scenes to Czech folk dances contrasted against periods of drama. It’s like a study on the balance of nature and life. Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
