A master of the Romantic era, he infused his attractive melodies and brilliant orchestrations with Bohemian folk influences, later incorporating American elements. He is renowned for works like his Symphony No. 9 "From the New World," Cello Concerto, Slavonic Dances, and the opera Rusalka. Johannes Brahms supported his early career. Dvořák is celebrated for popularizing Slavic music and his versatile compositional style.

Sir Edward William Elgar was an English composer whose works in the orchestral idiom of late 19th-century Romanticism stimulated a renaissance of English music. Largely self-taught, he began his musical career in Worcester as a violinist, conductor, and teacher before gaining widespread recognition. His breakthrough came with the Enigma Variations in 1899, followed by major successes such as the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, the oratorio The Dream of Gerontius, and his elegiac Cello Concerto. Appointed Master of the King's Musick in 1924, Elgar's compositions are celebrated for their bold melodies, vibrant orchestration, and deep emotional resonance, entering the international classical concert repertoire.
