The Golden Spinning Wheel, Op. 109, B. 197 by Antonín Dvořák

Dvořák completed this symphonic poem for orchestra in 1869 with the first performance of the work taking place in June the same year at the Prague Conservatory. This first performance was only for invited guests. The first public performance did not take place until October of 1896 in London.

The work is based on the poem ‘Zlatý kolovrat’ (The Golden Spinning-Wheel)’, taken from the folk ballad collection titled ‘Kytice’ (bouquet). The story begins with a king riding in the countryside. He encounters a beautiful woman from a village named Dornicka, whom he falls in love with. He asks the step-mother of Dornicka to bring her to the king’s castle to wed. On the way to the castle, the step-mother and the step-sister of Dornicka (who resembles her identically) murder Dornicka and cut the feet, hands and eyes off the body.

The step-sister then goes to the castle and marries the king. Meanwhile a hermit discovers the body of Dornicka, and sends a messenger to the castle to ask for the hands, feet and eyes of Dornicka in exchange for a golden spinning wheel, a golden distaff and a golden spindle. The step-sisters agrees to the exchange, and when the messenger returns with the body parts the hermit resurrects Dornicka.

When the step-sister attempts to use the magical items the hermit gave in exchange for the body parts, they spinning wheel tells the king of the betrayal of Dornicka. The king executes the step-mother and step-sister and finds the real Dornicka in the forest.

This work is comprised of a single movement.
