The 7th Symphony by no means reflects a consistently pastoral, idyllic atmosphere. The music often has a dramatic and sombre effect. It is possible that Dvorák was coming to terms with the blows of fate: he had lost his mother and three children. Dvorák's Eighth differed substantially from the Seventh, where he still adhered to the form of the classical symphony according to Beethoven, but in the Eighth he gave preference to melody over form.
