It was an emphatic answer to the speculations that this tragic circumstance would put an end to his compositional career. The \"Story of a Czech River\" would become a symbol of everything Czech, a hymn celebrating the Czech land, the Czech nation and its traditions. On the other hand, Dvořák's time in America, crowned by the triumph of Symphony No. 9, \"From the New World\", clearly demonstrated the international quality of Czech music - the power of its heredity as well as the ability to reflect and co-create the development of music in the world. Smetana was at the birth of the \"Czech music\" phenomenon, while Dvořák ensured that this phenomenon became known worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_b79a4887-e333-4cca-a4b2-e2b81d298cf5_480x480.png?v=1681155905\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedřich Smetana\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy Country.
