Product Description

The third and final movement of my tone poem about Prague. This represents the Czech people through one of the national dances. Inspired by my visits in 2007 and 2009, this movement is divided into two distinct sections. The opening is slow and quite stately in 7/8 but with a clear pulse of short-short-long. which later reverses to long-short-short as it moves towards the faster section. Tis is in a less straightforward meter, creating the feel of an almost uncontrollable whirl of dancing. This pattern of slow and fast sections is typical of Czech dances, in fact this movement was largely inspired by those of Dvorak.
