Composed shortly after his iconic New World Symphony, Dvorák’s String Quartet No. 12 (“American”) reflects the composer’s fondness for America, during his tenure in New York and vacation in Iowa. Featuring a pentatonic scale and American folk-like melodies, the quartet has emerged as Dvorák’s most popular chamber work.
