In 1878, on a commission from his publisher, Antonín Dvorák wrote a series of eight Slavonic dances. Modelled on Johannes Brahms' famous Hungarian Dances, although in contrast to Brahms' work, Dvorák used no original melodies. Wil van der Beek has arranged No. 7, a brisk 2/4 dance, as well as No. 8, a passionate, exuberant furiant in 3/4.
