First performed in New York at Carnegie Hall on December 16, 1893, with Anton Seidl conducting. "One of Dvorák's greatest successes... [He] pointed out several times in letters and interviews that theinfluence of American music could clearly be heard in his Symphony no.9 in E minor (‘From the NewWorld,’ first published as no.5), written in New York in 1893. He emphasized that he had tried to composeit in the spirit of the folklore of the black and Amerindian peoples and it includes features of that music(pentatonism, a flattened leading note, plagal cadences, drone accompaniment, certain tonal circles,rhythmic ostinato and strongly syncopated rhythms).” (Grove Online) (11939)
