For the first time in more than a century, Antonin Dvořák's original manuscript for Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," returned to the United States for a special one-day display at the Library of Congress. Dvořák scholar Michael Beckerman speaks on the role of African-American sources in the composer's conception of an American music. Eva Velická joins him for a discussion on "Manuscripts as Storytellers."
Michael Beckerman is Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor of Music at New York University.
