Notes

Indian Lament: The 2nd movement of Dvořák Violin Sonatina Op.100 Larghetto is also called Indian Lament. A motive for the slow movement Larghetto was hurriedly noted down on Dvořák’s shirt sleeve while on a visit to Minnehaha Falls, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Simrock sold this movement separately, without the composer’s permission, and Fritz Kreisler often performed it as Indian Lament.
