NOTATION OF ACCENTS AND DYNAMICS 135<br />

Ex. 3.88. DvoŘák: (a) Violin Sonata op. 57/iii; (b) String Quartet op. 105/iv<br />

the excessive employment of accent signs is indicated by his remark in a letter of 27 January 1896 to Fritz Simrock,<br />

after he had read the proofs of DvoŘák's Te Deum: ‘Do those silly accents have to stay on the stressed syllables?<br />

Nowadays one often sees that. Since the music stresses the syllables, the markings obviously make no sense<br />

whatsoever.’
