You didn't seem to pick up the 'Dumky' joke without

Some joke:-((

"Dumky" = Daydreaming, pleasant thoughts, contemplating, idolising an
ideal - based on Slavonic expression used in CZ & Ukraine as 'Dreaming'

I have ascertained this from a note on a photocopy of the original score.


BTW, why would Dvorak have enjoyed the view in the village of Ashmore?

Another of your jokes, jibes, puns whatever you call them?
or a reference to Op.94? or maybe Rusalka?

Keep us in suspense, and tell us when you visit
a recording session.

Cordially,
