I once saw some silly program notes which suggested the following words for the opening of Dvorak's 7th: "In a moment or two you will meet a great bear. Have a care! Have a care!" Obviously a Brit; and not quite stupid enough to be by Sigmund Spaeth.
As I leave my physical immaturity behind, I notice that my tastes in Dvorak symphonies get earlier and earlier. The 8th (the slow movement of which Laura has chosen as her "theme song") is probably my favorite, but the 7th and more recently the 6th and 5th have been making inroads. While I expect to live a long time if the family genetics hold true, I do hope that I will die before I ever come to think of #1 ("The Bells of Zlonice") as my favorite.
