Antonín Dvořák enjoyed near universal popularity in the United States by the time he arrived in New York in September 1892 to lead the National Conservatory of Music. The conservatory’s founder had great hopes his stewardship would elevate the institution to rival those of Europe, while others believed he could help the country’s classical music culture develop its own voice. Dvořák came to believe that “Negro melodies” should form the basis for a distinctly American classical style. He was not the first to say so. But the Czech composer’s outsized stature and outsider status reignited widespread debate about the nature and future of American composition – and exposed racism within the classical music world. So says musicologist Douglas W Shadle, whose latest book traces the 1893 premiere of Dvořák’s most famous piece from his American sojourn.

LOS ANGELES A new U.S. Senate bill introduced by Missouri Republican Josh Hawley would make it easier for people who say they have been depicted in non-consensual sexually explicit images to sue sites that post the videos, according to a report by the
The Kansas City Star. The bill would appear to contradict the provisions of the internet free speech law known as Section 230, which shields online platforms from liability for content posted by third-party users.
The bill seems to try getting around the Section 230 provisions by specifying that sites must “knowingly” distribute the non-consensual videos to be legally liable.
