Trivia about “From the New World”
Before introducing the sheet music, I would like to briefly tell you some trivia from this time's Shinsekai.
The "New World" in the title (or more accurately, the subtitle) of this work refers to "America." Born and raised in the Czech Republic in Europe, Dvorak moved to the United States around 1890 and worked there for about three years. At that time, the United States had just finished its civil war and western expansion, and was developing into a powerful nation. At that time, he was inspired by the music played by Native American tribes, such as Indians, to be similar to the music of his hometown, and created the song ``From the New World.''
By the way, the reason why the title of the work is ``From the New World'' instead of ``New World'' is said to be a message from America to his hometown of the Czech Republic. Perhaps he wanted to convey that ``the melodies of New World music are similar'' and ``this is what happens when you put New World music together in a Western European style.''

-From the New World 2nd movement-Free sheet music ① (Beginner)
This sheet music for beginners .
It is a simple sheet music made with only the opening melody and chord chords. The difficulty level is such that even those who have just started playing the piano can play it.
-From the New World 2nd movement-Free sheet music ② (Beginner)
beginner sheet music, which is slightly .
There are hardly any particularly difficult parts. I think you can play it even if you have the proficiency level of a Beyer graduate. One thing to be careful about is the dynamics. Make sure that the beginning of measure 11 and the end of measure 12 are the same size.
-From the New World 2nd movement-Free sheet music ③ (Beginner to Intermediate)
Finally, this is a piano arrangement of the entire second movement, including the prelude.
It may look difficult because the measures of the score are packed together, but since the tempo of the song is slow, it's not that difficult. However, as explained in the score ②, be careful about the dynamics. It's a little difficult to determine the dynamics of songs with slow tempos. Please be aware of the volume of the piano's naturally fading sound, and check the feel of the keys as you play. (There is a fortissimo left hand trill at the end. Let's do our best...)
