‘American Suite’ in A Major, Op. 98

Description

Conceived originally as a work for solo piano, this arrangement of Antonin Dvorak’s Suite in a Major for flute and piano is based on both the piano and orchestral versions. Dvorak composed the Suite in A Major in 1894, inspired by his happy and fruitful stay in the ‘New World’ – a period that produced some of his greatest works, full of thematic freshness, raw energy, and folk influences, both American and Old World Czech. These works, and the A Major Suite, are textured with his personal impressions of the Wild West’s Native American and Afro-American music, its God-fearing and friendly people, its vast open spaces, and its awe-inspiring natural beauty.

Duration: 20’40. For the advanced player.
