Slavonic Dances

Slavonic Dances is a set of orchestral compositions by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, first published in 1878. Drawing on Bohemian and broader Slavic dance rhythms and folk-like melodies, the pieces combine rhythmic vitality, modal harmony and colourful orchestration and marked a significant step in Dvořák's career by bringing his music to a wider European audience.
