I recently gave a two CD set of Classical music to a friend who wasn’t at all familiar with Classical.
He reported that Dvorak’s Humoresque “got him”
In the whole repertoire of those two CD’s – including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt, Chopin, Schumann, Schubert etc. etc.
This is the only piece he mentioned that really moved him! So I went to jimsclassicalmusic.com and found there wasn’t a single Dvorak piece! Now there’s two.
Humoresque op. 101 no. 7
Dvorak-humoresque-op-101-no-7
Drobnosti Trio / allegro moderato
Dvorak trio drobnosti allegro
