Musical Humor and Antonín Dvořák's Comic Operas

by Adams

Anton n Dvoř k's masterful compositional strategies construct sonic humor in his six comic operas. He crafts musical slapstick, satire, parody, and merriment using clever orchestration and voicing techniques and incongruity. Narrative description and comprehensive music examples reveal an under-appreciated side of the composer's creative skills.
