Seeking recognition beyond the Prague area, he submitted a score of his First Symphony to a prize competition in Germany, but did not win, and the unreturned manuscript was lost until it was rediscovered many decades later. In 1874, he made a submission to the Austrian State Prize for Composition, including scores of two further symphonies and other works. Although Dvorák was not aware of it, Johannes Brahms was the leading member of the jury and was highly impressed. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
