Slavonic Dances, op. 46 / Slavonic Dances, op. 72

Album by Antonín Dvořák & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell

Slavonic Dances, Op. 46 and Slavonic Dances, Op. 72 are two sets of orchestral dance pieces by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1878 and 1886 respectively. Written in the late Romantic period, the dances draw on Bohemian and broader Slavic folk rhythms and melodic idioms, featuring lively dance forms and colourful orchestration that helped establish Dvořák's international reputation and exemplify the integration of nationalistic elements into Romantic-era orchestral music.
