Dvořák conducted the premiere in Prague on 2 February 1890. In contrast to other symphonies of both the composer and the period, the music is cheerful and optimistic. It was originally published as Symphony No. 4. Dvořák tried to achieve a marked difference to his Symphony No. 7, a stormy romantic work. No. 8 would be: “different from the other symphonies, with individual thoughts worked out in a new way“. The Eighth is cheery and lyrical and draws its inspiration more from the Bohemian folk music that Dvořák loved. Dvořák kept the typical format of a symphony in four movements, but structured them in an unusual way. All movements show a remarkable variety of themes, many of them based on Bohemian material. Occasionally the development of the themes seems like improvisation. I. Allegro con brio (G minor → G major) II. Adagio (E♭ major → C minor → C major) III. Allegretto grazioso — Molto vivace (G minor → trio and coda in G major) IV. Allegro ma non troppo (G major) Dvořák had the London firm of Vincent Novello publish the symphony in 1890, because he had disagreements with his regular publisher Fritz Simrock, who was more interested in shorter works as moneymakers. Simrock wanted to publish the movement titles and the composer's name in German, which Dvořák refused as a “proud Bohemian“. Because of the country of its first publication, this symphony has occasionally been known as the “English“ symphony, though “it would be more correct to call it the 'Czech', at least in comparison with its predecessor in D minor which was modelled more on Brahms.“ --- Thank you so much for watching this video by Halidon Music channel, we hope you enjoyed it!
