Evaluation of Slavic Dance Music

Slavic dance music made dvorak an internationally renowned composer, because at that time, nationalist music was forming a trend, and national music, like a fresh spring breeze, blew into the European music scene, arousing people's strong interest in the genre of national music. In Europe, since the Renaissance, after the Baroque Period and the Vienna Classical Period, a musical style based on the German-Austrian tradition has been formed, and Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are the main founders of this style. In The Romantic Period, the main inheritors of the German-Austrian tradition are Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, brukner, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Mahler and even Richard Strauss. Now people call this style cosmopolitanism, and the phrase "music has no borders" that people often say is mainly applicable to this kind of music. Even in the world music, there is always folk music, otherwise there will be no vitality. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler and Strauss all consciously adopted national music, but it was often foreign music. Therefore, gypsy factors, Spanish customs and Turkish military music all appear in mainstream music, but they are only based on exotic decorations in traditional styles and have not formed a nationalist style. This situation is similar to the artistic tradition in Europe. After the Renaissance, a black and yellow earthy tones was formed on the canvas. This tone has not changed much over the centuries, and the theme, content and emotion have all changed within this range, without exceeding this basic tone. It was not until impressionism took light and color as the main content of oil painting that this tone was broken.

/kloc-After the mid-9th century, the interest in folk customs and the upsurge of nationalism prompted romantic musicians to adopt their own national folk songs and folk dance music, thus forming a nationalist style. The national music schools in Russia, Hungary, Bohemia, Poland, Finland, Norway and other countries have formed distinctive styles, which have greatly enriched European music.

Dvorak was born and lived in the Czech Republic, and was known as Bohemia in history. Bohemia has been the territory of Habsburg dynasty in Austria since16th century. The music here is very developed, and musical talents flow to European countries, so it is called "European Conservatory of Music". So Bohemian music has a lot of communication with mainstream European voices, and Czech folk songs are not much different from western European folk songs. On the one hand, dvorak's motivation to create Slavic dance music originated from the nationalist trend of thought, on the other hand, influenced by the pan-Slavic cultural movement among scholars, poets and intellectuals, and driven by Slavic national consciousness, he created Slavic-style chamber music such as Slavic dance music and Slavic rhapsody. Slavic dance music is welcomed by people because of its gorgeous colors, warm youthful atmosphere and simple inner lyricism, and dvorak deserves to be a composer with world reputation, which is another meaning of "music has no borders".
