Compositional Technique

Dvořák found a style in America that transformed his homeland's local color into something supranational, using pentatonic scales, minor scales without certain degrees, and strong syncopation like the Scotch snap.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Dvořák's 'multi-ethnic' approach, combining American Indian and Bohemian inflections, is seen as a forerunner to composers like Hans Werner Henze.
