The nature, railway and steamboat enthusiast will eventually leave his beloved Bohemia. The mission is clear: he is to create a national music of his own for the still young United States, to establish an identity. Inspired by the incredible vastness of the landscape, the railway lines, the Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers and Native American folk music, Dvořák paints the New World in sound.
