Life and the world expand from the experience of the train

Czech composer Dvorak is famous as the originator of "Railway Nerd". He was active at the end of the 19th century and acted as a bridge between classical and pop music. Japanese poetry is attached to the second movement of the symphony of the representative song "From the New World", and it is familiar as "The sun has fallen on a distant mountain". He has loved railroads since he was a child, and even when he was teaching at the Prague Music School, his lesson schedule was based on the railroad schedule. At the age of 51, I was invited as the director of the American Conservatory. After all, I agreed to be able to experience the latest railroads in the New World.

He liked the sound of trains running, remembered them with his ears, and used them in his songs. "Humoresque" (originally humor) was born as a casual collection of small pieces by summarizing the optimism written down in a distant foreign land during a vacation in your hometown. You can see how it starts with a relaxed rhythm and gradually increases in speed comfortably. Also, the contrast of the melody in the middle part that makes you feel the melancholy of Bohemia is wonderful.

One day, he noticed an anomaly in the running noise of the train and complained, "The rhythm is different from usual! Believe in my ears as a musician." In this way, the world expands from the episode of the train.
