Dvořák's eighth symphony was composed in 1889 on the occasion of his election to the Bohemian Academy of Science, Literature and Arts. It premiered the following year in Prague. The first movement is a powerful and glowing exposition, opening with a lyrical G minor theme. The second movement is an Adagio at brisk pace, followed by a melancholy third movement waltz in 3/8 time. In the finale, a turbulent "complex theme-and-variations," Dvořák draws on predecessors such as Beethoven and Brahms while also infusing a jovial and optimistic character that is unmistakably Czech.
