Antonín Dvořák - ALL HUMORESQUES FOR PIANO (7 THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS TRIBUTE)
Музыка
The eight humoresques of Antonin Dvorak's Op. 101 are largely forgotten today -- all but one of them, that is. The Humoresque in G flat major, No. 7, Op. 101, is surely one of the world's most famous short pieces, and has been since it was first published. Arrangements of this slight work have been made for every imaginable instrument and ensemble, most of them by the original publisher (N. Simrock) with Dvorak's knowledge; the arrangement made for violin and piano by Fritz Kreisler was so famous in its day that many forgot altogether that the work was originally for piano.
The Humoresques are among Dvorak's last works for keyboard. Composed in 1894, they are followed only by the Two Pieces, B. 188 ("Berceuse" and "Capriccio"), written later the same year. As such, they represent the composer's mature synthesis of the character piece genre with his innate, spontaneous sense of melody and the ever-present influence of his native Czech folk music. All eight of the Humoresques are, at times, reminiscent of Johannes Brahms in their combination of relatively conservative musical language, robust textures, and warm tunefulness.
It took Dvorak a few years to put the pieces of Op. 101 into their finished shapes. He jotted down most of the melodies and themes during his stay in the United States (1892-1895), but he didn't set about fleshing them out until the summer of 1894 (during a brief and welcome return to Bohemia for the summer). At first he thought of calling the set New Scottish Dances (a follow-up to the Scottish Dances, Op. 41, of the late 1870s), since they all follow the basic duple-meter and simple rondo-type plan of an Ecossaise dance. But he decided instead to give them the less specific title, Humoresques.

I am Dvorak. Though I am not THE Dvorak. But my ancestors were Dvorak. I've loved the Maestros music ever since the young age of 8. So glad there is so much adulation for the man and his music!

Beautiful music and a great performance by Radoslav Kvapil. Thank you very much for sharing this music and for the illustrative text.
Thank you very much for sharing these with us, not only the complete Op. 101, with sheet music, but also that 9th additional one. Very much appreciate all the care you put into doing so. These gems certainly deserve resurrection in concert recitals. Very interesting how Dvorak approaches the idea of a minor key Humoresque, but given his knowledge of Slavic folk music/dance, it is no surprise that he carries off that challenge so well. Thanks again for sharing these with us!

Dvorak's set of Mazurkas are also very amazing and almost the twin to these works for piano.
I heard so much classical music as a child which I forgot about. But everytime I hear a piece I somehow remember from something on the radio I can’t recall from what it was. Today it were his Humoresques. I still can’t remember if it held any significant meaning to me, but the feeling that I know it from somewhere is so weird
These are incredibly unique pieces!
Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece! BRAVOOOO
Excellent performance. I'm sorry I've never heard of Kvapil before. Thank you for the introduction.

Great music and superb execution!
Exquisite and lovely. Reminds me of Mendelssohn's songs without words a bit. I'd love to learn these some day, looks like they would be quite fun to play.
Another person that made no. 7 famous is Jack Benny attempting to play the violin/piano version back in the day (1940's and 50's). That's what I think of whenever I hear this piece.
Very sweet.

SIDE COMMENTS: 1) I'm behind schedule, I know, shush. This time, I realized I was actually using the wrong edition, and so had to snapshot some pictures from scratch again. Sigh. 2) Thank you very much for the milestone. I meant it when I said "we wouldn't be here if it weren't for you" now that I legit noticed we're getting big faster than I expected. I can't thank you enough for that. 3) Heads up to the one who requested this! :D 4) No offense, but Dvorak is a bit off the radar for me. Which of his works would you recommend me to listen to? 5) Any random comments, suggestions, opinions, questions, or video requests? Feel more than free to leave a comment or give me a PM. :D

4) I guess you already listened to this, but Dvorak masterpiece is of course Symphony No. 9 "From the New World". But he has some also other interesting works, which I recommend for you to check: Cypresses No. 11, Serenade for strings in E Major, Mazurek in E Minor op. 49 - Dvorak is full of magic!

The Slavonic Dances, both Opus 46 and 72, are wonderful! Either the piano four hands original version, or the orchestrated version he made afterwards. His Legends is also a wonderful piece, as are all of his symphonic poems, my favorite being The Golden Spinning Wheel; and his Cello Concerto. Dvorák is one of my first obsessions in music, and still today his music inspires me. Thank you so very much for uploading this wonderful video!
Amazing!

20min47seg: Humoresque Op.101 n°7: 'Poco Lento e grazioso'..
I strongly believe that No. 4 is inspired by/an allusion to the Czech Christmas carol Narodil se Kristus Pán. At least the initial theme.
13:45 cute polka like Strauss's one
OMG NUMBER 5 😍😍😍😍
I might add 8 waltzes, most to my liking being 4, 5 and 6.
25:52 What happened in the end?
listen to Art Tatum play Number 7; fantastic rendition
3:28 very similar to The lick
Vivace In F# Major 0:23
Dvorak got bored by the end of No. 8 and just slapped some notes on the page. Very fitting for the nature of these pieces.

No, the motif in the last bars appears on numerous occasions previously in the piece.
Interesting that in the 7th Humoresque I found in what might be an error either by the composer or the publisher. In measure 6 the note is a solid Eb, not the grace note Eb going to Gb. All throughout the piece as the theme is repeated it remains the grace note Eb followed by the solid Gb. Usually, composers of this time period and before would be very consistent with their themes.

Agreed, the pentatonicism gave me an impression of that
on a Casio keyboard there's a version of the Gb major one that was transcribed to G major. It's nice to have but also pretty evil. Whoever learnt the pieces using the instructions of that keyboard will have to relearn it all over again
