Dvořák
Symphony No. 7 (Scherzo)
"A fiercely rhythmic, driving dance infused with Bohemian fire."

Commissioned by the London Philharmonic Society in 1884, Dvořák aimed to write a symphony capable of "stirring the world." The third movement is a thrilling furiant—a rapid, passionate Czech dance that constantly plays with the listener's sense of rhythm.
