在布拉姆斯支持下，德弗札克也不負所望的在世界樂壇佔了一席之地。1892年，德弗札克應聘到美國擔任四年國立音樂院院長，以美國風味的旋律寫成這首《新世界》交響曲，同年十二月十六日由朋友安東‧塞多指揮紐約愛樂首演。這場音樂會對德弗札克來說相當有意義，德弗札克表示：「如果說討論這首交響曲使用『印第安』或『美國』民謠這件事沒有意義，那是騙人的。」作品首演後，德弗札克寫信告訴出版商：「報上說從來沒有作曲家能受到如此的歡迎。卡內基音樂廳裡坐滿了紐約的名人，聽眾們像是見到皇室成員一樣拚命地歡呼喝采。我得從我坐的包廂裡不停地向聽眾鞠躬致意。」 鑑於布拉姆斯的匈牙利舞曲大受歡迎，委託德弗札克創作《斯拉夫舞曲》的西姆洛克有意以風格近似的作品大賺一筆。果然，第一組斯拉夫舞曲首演後，德弗札克立刻在一夜之間名利雙收，雖然《斯拉夫舞曲》是完全根據舞曲精神、斯拉夫民間風格所融鑄而成的獨立創作，沒有直接引用民謠素材，但是曲中充滿了優美的旋律與誘人的魅力。
