My favorite classic piece of all time is Dvorak's 9th Symphony, the 4th movement [0]. He was ahead of the curve when looking to integrate inspiration from various sources, as mentioned on the Wikipedia article [1]: > I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them.
