Dvorak or Brahms?

Post by Art Hovey »

The conductor of our local civic orchestra suspects that the Dvorak 6th Symphony may actually have been composed by Brahms. He bases that conjecture on certain stylistic similarities. Anybody else have an opinion or historical clue?

Complete and total nonsense. The dates when Dvorak composed pretty much any and all of his works are well known and well documented. Besides which, he has it completely backwards: the best Brahms symphony is Dvorak 7.
