Dvořák: Quartet no. 12, Op. 96 American – III Molto Vivace

In its valedictory release, the world-renowned Tokyo String Quartet presents a pair of well-loved chamber works offering a glimpse into the private world of two Czech composers. Antonín Dvorák and Bedrich Smetana – although they were sometimes regarded as musical opposites in their homeland – together came to represent the quintessential sound of 19th-century Czech music.
