During his second visit to America in 1894-1895, Antonin Dvorák composed his Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra B minor op. 104. The work, written for his friend and cellist Hanuš Wihan, not only showcases Dvorák's musical impressions of the country but also reflects his nostalgia for his homeland. Indeed, the composer incorporated into the work elements of folk music from both the United States and his native Czech Republic. Despite his initial doubts about the cello's capabilities as a solo instrument, Dvorák managed to create an exceptional composition that remains popular in orchestral performances today.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.
