Classical music in the United States chose its own path and flourished in its own way. Many European composers, like Dvořák, drew inspiration from it. "Spirituals, melodies of America, I discover all that is necessary for a great and noble school of music." wrote Dvořák, when he was working on his string quartet, after moving from Europe to the United States.
The American composer Amy Beach had her own romantic and charming language that she contributed to the American repertoire. And Gershwin tried to bring jazz music to the stage of a classical concert hall, thus contributing to the musical language of America.
