Dvorak: Czech Suites
Nationalism in the Romantic idiom
"Integral to the image of Antonin Dvorak in the populist philosophies of music history is the intense and fervent desire to create music influenced by Slavonic ethnicity. For the most part, this was catalyzed by a desire to celebrate the people and landscape of the country for which he had great affection.
Dvorak's lilting themes-brings to mind the unpredictability of the European countryside-He allows a whirlwind of emotions to be experienced-which lead to the regal second subject-there is also a sort of inherent passion and formality which allows the listener to experience the sensation of nobility and pageantry as well." Cyril Neume
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherezade
"The reasons for its popularity are clear enough it is a score replete with beguiling orchestral colors, fresh and piquant melodies, a mild oriental flavor, a rhythmic vitality largely absent from many major orchestral works of the later 19th century, and a directness of expression unhampered by quasi-symphonic complexities of texture and structure.
Rimsky-Korsakov's program notes: The Sultan Schariar, convinced that all women are false and faithless, vowed to put to death each of his wives after the first nuptial night. But the Sultana Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining her lord with fascinating tales, told for a thousand and one nights. The Sultan, consumed with curiosity, postponed from day to day the execution of his wife, and finally repudiated his bloody vow entirely. The grim bass motif that opens the first movement represents the domineering Sultan." Wikipedia
