September 8, 1841, the man who wrote arguably the greatest cello concerto was born.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTONIN DVORAK!

and thank you for The New World Symphony, for all those slavonic dances, for the concerti, countless other works, and your sweet czeck influence.

Brahms, after hearing the Dvorak cello concerto, said that had he known such music could be written for the cello, he would have written a cello concerto himself.
