Created the article

Sad New Year´s Eve in America 1892...:)) But, that´s what my source says. I started with basic info, need to check English, correct the spelling.. Vejvančický (talk) 12:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've improved the English somewhat, and moved the composition history into its own section. Magicpiano (talk) 13:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a Czech article, maybe? Vltava 68 (talk contribs) 09:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. The culture and music topics are on Czech wikipedia rather underdeveloped. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Old Folks at Home"

I had long been told, and believed, that Humoresque #7 was based on Stephen Foster's "Swanee River", but this is not mentioned either way in the article. Sussmanbern (talk) 17:25, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article has some room for expansion, Wikipedia is a work in progress. Some sources at G-books suggest that you are right. Feel free to mention the inspiration, but please don't forget to cite reliable sources. Thank you. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:54, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Foremost, nr. 7 is supposedly based on/inspired by Swanee River. Besides the "Passengers will please refrain" lyric (which is referenced in the City of New Orleans song), there were romantic song lyrics which were used once on an I Love Lucy episode. I'd also like to see info on the inspiration (etc) of the other pieces in Dvorak's Humoresques. This article deserves expansion. Sussmanbern (talk) 16:04, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Soprano Alma Gluck sang "Old Folks at Home" (aka "Swanee River") while her husband violinist Efrem Zimbalist played Humoresque No. 7 in a 1913/1914 recording (Video). There is a reference to this recording in the article on "Old Folks at Home". BTWaters (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, Fritz Kreisler seems to have recorded both "Old Folks at Home" and Humoresque No. 7 on same day: May 13, 1910. If so, surely the similarity was noted no later than that date. BTWaters (talk) 02:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
