The Ukrainian word 'dumky' means 'thoughts' and is the plural of dumka, the diminutive of duma, a melancholy Slavic (originally Ukrainian) folk ballad. Like some other Eastern European composers, Dvořák made the dumka a form in which slow, melancholy 'narrations' alternate with fast dances. He wrote a number of Dumkas, including a trio, in which he perfectly merged classical music with folklore. The Georgian composer Sulkhan Tsintsadze in his own way fused folklore into the miniatures of the string quartet, transposing famous Georgian ballads and songs for the string instruments.
