Wonderful, moving music. From the “New World” symphony.

I have a piano reduction, not having a cellist, nor violinist handy.

The piano reduction and the adaptation for piano and violin, by Fritz Kreisler, no less, “ Negro Spiritual Melody ‘, are in D flat.

Whereas the one you linked is in C major, much easier to play by ear.

Highly Recommended, from my very long list of Dvorak favorites:
Song to the Moon, from Russalka and
His out of this world cello concerto.

Heh... Speaking of reduction, a flavorful one over bucatini. 🤭 sprinkleeninow May 26 #2

I realize about Dvorak, but some that were native rus/ussr, I try disassociation. sprinkleeninow May 26 #4
