More quotes by Antonin Dvorak
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that art, as such, does not pay, to use an American expression - at least, not in the beginning - and that the art that has to pay its own way is apt to become vitiated and cheap.
Antonin Dvorak
In the Negro melodies of America I find all that is needed for a great and noble school of music.
Antonin Dvorak
I have composed too much.
Antonin Dvorak
I am now satisfied that the future music of this country must be founded upon what are called negro melodies. This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States.
Antonin Dvorak
