    Getting more and more into classical music since I started piano again. Especially really like Dvorak, Chopin and Satie. Dont know much about Hungarian-Nationalism of the 19th century lol and what kind of influence it ended up having but Dvorak being incredibly interested in Native-American and African-American music and incorporating it into his own is incredibly interesting to me.

      Hungarian nationalism had a massive effect, though mostly in the second half of the century. Looking at, say, Strauss' Ziguenerbaron as a propaganda piece emphasising the multinational and cultural nature of Austria-Hungary is a pretty interesting take.

      I'm more into Opera and Vocal stuff, but been loving my Late-Rossini and Auber and Massenet recently. Still amazed they let Guillaume Tell and La Muette Di Portici out into the wild, given they basically sparked the 1830s revolutions.

        I'm not at all versed in music theory, especially of African and Native American music of the 19th century, but his 9th symphony "The New World" is where he implemented most of the ideas he got living in the US.
