Dvořák's Humoresque No. 7 in G-flat major, Op. 101 (1894) is the most famous of his eight Humoresques for solo piano, written during his time in the United States. Its graceful, song-like melody became a beloved staple of violin and piano recitals worldwide and was famously set to humorous parody lyrics in popular culture.

"Songs My Mother Taught Me" (Als die alte Mutter) is the fourth song from Dvořák's Gypsy Songs, Op. 55 (1880), a cycle of seven songs with texts by Adolf Heyduk. It is one of Dvořák's most tender and internationally beloved vocal works, drawing on Czech and Romani folk influences.
