Text Box:  28. Next we have another Bohemian composer (who was the other?...Smetana) with a personality that everyone loved. He had a handshake of iron. His name is Antonin (An to neen) Dvorak (Da vor zhak). He was born in 1841 and died in 1904 at age 62. Late in his life he was convinced to come to America, and subsequently lived there for three years. He, however, was very lonely for his homeland, and, in order to remind himself of it, would take long walks in Central Park in New York City. Also, while in that city, he became a train and ship fanatic and would ride them for hours on end. While in the United States he wrote in 1893 his Ninth Symphony, which very was appropriately was called, From the New World. In it is heard one of the two most famous horn pieces of classical music...the other being from Brahms.
