Extract

On September 8th, 1941, a hundred years had passed since the birth of the Czech composer Antonin Dvořák. “I believe the nations that possess and practise their art will never perish, however small they may be,” Dvořák once wrote to his German publisher, Simrock. In these words is concealed a portion of that faith which to-day inspires the people in Czechoslovakia as they listen to the powerful notes of winged freedom that gush forth from Dvořák's music with the invincible certitude of new liberty.
