The quintet was written shortly after Dvorak finished the famous “American” string quartet in F major, opus 96. Both were written during a stay at Spillville, Iowa, home to a Czech immigrant community. He was in the US because Jeanette Thurber had persuaded Dvorak to become the head of the National Conservatory of Music of America and to found a school of composition for American music the way he had designed Czech music in his home country. He got acquainted with the so called Afro-American and Indian music in quite a special manner. Nevertheless a style emerged which borrows much from pentatonic spirituals and Indian music.
