| Extra Information | Abridged arrangement of the Largo (No.2) from Symphony No.9, Op.95 by Dvořák. Kreisler's arrangement is only 5 bars less than the famous setting for voice and piano published 2 years earlier, Goin' Home by William Arms Fisher. Probably re-titled to avoid any potential IP issues. The opening section from the 2nd movement of Dvořák's symphony is 45 bars (of the complete 127 bars). |
