Programme notes: It speaks for the business acumen of Simrock's music publisher that he recognised in the Bohemian Dvorak the right man for a genre that was stirring musical minds everywhere in Europe at the time: national dances from Eastern Europe. In Simrock's publishing programme, Brahms had been the first to encourage this penchant for the original character of the eastern peoples of Europe with his Hungarian Dances. Dvorak was able to repeat this success all the more authentically with his Slavonic Dances, since he was composing in his "mother tongue", as it were. That is why he did not need to resort to seemingly original folk dances from more or less reliable sources, as Brahms did, but wrote the melodies to his "Slavonic" dances himself without further ado. No one could have done it better than he did. Quelle/Source: Kammermusikführer
