About String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 "American": II. Lento

The String Quartet No. 12 in F, Op. 96, B. 179, nicknamed the American, is one of the most popular pieces of chamber music by the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. This slow movement opens with a beautiful, sombre melody from the violin. It is then echoed by the cello. It has been compared to the sounds of an African-American spiritual. Since this piece was composed in America, Dvorak may have been feeling homesick. .
