Dvořák’s Humoresque (specifically No. 7 in G-flat major, Op. 101) is a globally recognized, charming piano piece composed in 1894 during his time in America. It is part of a set of eight piano character pieces known for their syncopated, melodic, and melancholic-yet-humorous character.
No. 7 is written in G-flat major, featuring a distinct, swaying melody and a contrasting middle section.
The piece was composed during a summer break in Bohemia, drawing on themes from a planned set of “Scottish Dances”.
