Since we are having a "Staycation" this year, I thought I'd revisit a vacation we had a half dozen years ago. We planned this vacation to Prague and the Czech Republic around the opening date of the Czech Philharmonic and this particular concert. It was great.

I've looked for us in the audience, but the camera avoided us. I guess we weren't as interesting as some of the others.

Anyway it was a great concert, a piece rarely played in the USA and worth taking our vacation a little later in the year when the fall weather made the Czech Republic cooler that we like.

Josef was taught by the great composer, Antonin Dvorak and married Antonin's daughter, Otilie. He wrote this the year they both died and in memory of them.

Asrael Symphony - Josef Suk

August Dvorak who partnered with William Dealey to make that keyboard was a distant relative to Antonin who composed that symphony. The keyboard was designed to type faster than the QWERTY arrangement, but not enough people wanted to learn the new system to make it successful.

In keeping with the theme:

Symphony #7 - Antonín Dvořák - Cleveland Orchestra conducted by George Szell

Another nice symphony by Antonin
