Antonín Dvořák was born on September 8, 1841, in Nelahozeves, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), as the eldest of nine children in a humble family. From a young age, he showed musical talent, learning to play the violin and becoming involved in local musical activities. In 1857, he moved to Prague to study music formally, and after several years of financial struggles, he began to gain recognition in the Czech music scene. Dvořák achieved international fame in the 1870s with works such as the Slavonic Dances and the patriotic hymn "The Heirs of the White Mountain." He was supported by renowned composers like Johannes Brahms, who helped him publish his works. In 1892, Dvořák accepted the position of director at the National Conservatory of Music in New York, where he drew inspiration from American folk music, resulting in iconic compositions such as Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World") and the String Quartet in F Major. After returning to Bohemia in 1895, Dvořák continued to compose until his death on May 1, 1904, in Prague. He is remembered as one of the most important composers of the 19th century and a leading representative of Czech nationalist music. His works remain widely performed and admired around the world.
