"I was surprised to happen upon this statue in what I thought of as an out of the way spot. Given that he lived a few feet away from this spot in the 1890s it became less surprising but I only realized the latter from the former. And I'd never realized the following until I looked him up, which was prompted by finding this statue: "In 1891 Dvorak got an offer from Mrs Jeannette Thurber, the wife of a millionaire businessman, who wanted him as Director of the New Conservatory of Music in New York. For a little teaching and conducting, with four month's vacation, he would receive the unimaginable salary of $15, 000 - 25 times what he was paid in Prague, and worth about £500,000 in today's terms. The Dvoraks sailed to New York in autumn 1892, and their time in America produced three of his most famous works, the String Quartet No.12, 'American', the Cello Concerto in B minor; and the 'New World' Symphony."
