Serenades for String and Wind Instruments
Album by Antonín Dvořák & Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra & Hugh Wolff
Serenades for String and Wind Instruments is a pair of serenades by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1875 and 1878. They are rooted in the Romantic tradition, employing string and wind ensemble textures, lyrical melodies, folk‑inspired rhythms and Classical forms to bridge chamber and orchestral writing, and they mark important steps in Dvořák's compositional development during the 1870s.
