Resumo

TLDRThe video delves into the origins and dissemination of the term 'Humoresque' in music, initially introduced by Schumann and later popularized by Dvorak, particularly through his Humoresque No. 7. This piece, recognized for its impact across various media, originates from Dvorak's tenure in New York as the director of the National Conservatory of Music, a post notable for its high salary yet challenging environment.

  • 00:00:00 - 00:07:00

    Schumann was the first composer to use the title Humoresque for piano compositions characterized by their good-humored nature. However, the most famous Humoresque is Dvorak's Humoresque No. 7 from his 1894 composition, Opus 101. In 1892, Dvorak took on the role of director at the National Conservatory of Music in New York, an opportunity with a salary 25 times greater than his previous job, but also more responsibility. Composing light-hearted pieces like the Humoresques might have been a form of distraction for him. Some of his ideas from his American musical sketchbook were initially used in the 'New Scottish Dances,' which transformed into the Humoresques. Despite not being known as a great piano composer, Dvorak's most famous piece remains his piano composition, Humoresque No. 7, widely used in media and arranged for various instruments.
