String Quartets op. 96 ‘American’ · op. 105

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Moyzesovo kvarteto

String Quartets Op. 96 'American' and Op. 105 are chamber music works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893 and 1895 respectively. They combine lyrical Bohemian melodies, folk-inflected harmonies and rhythmic gestures influenced by Dvořák's time in the United States with the formal clarity of classical quartet writing, occupying a notable place in his late chamber output as reflections of both his American period and his subsequent return to European compositional concerns.

First released: 1989
