Dvorak started his musical training playing fiddle with his father. He had a wonderful childhood filled with country music and dance. He was not usual musician because he was mild mannered and didn’t seem to have emotional problems so many other composers faced. Dvorak had six children, raised pigeons and had simple tastes. He came to America in 1892 at age of 51 but only stayed three years. He wrote several symphonies and serenades.
