Thread Name: Humoresque and Swannee River
Subject: Humoresque and Swannee River
I was just reading on another forum that Humoresque by Dvorak was written as a counterpoint for "The Old Folks at Home" also known as "Way Down upon the Swannee River". I don't have an instrument handy but I can hear that they would mesh together. Also - Chet Atkins was once heard to play both pieces at the same time. Hmmm...Is this news to anyone else?
