"The American"

Inspired by Antonin Dvořák's String Quartet No. 12 in F Major, Op. 96, B179, nicknamed "The American" because he wrote it while on vacation in 1893 in the U.S. - Spillville, Iowa, to be exact, where there was a large Czech community - and because it draws motifs from American folk music and culture. This also happens to be one of my favorite quartets to play, because it has a rather good viola part!

The type is merely scanned in with no digital cleanup or tracing, I still can't get my pen strokes quite as clean and straight as the likes of @Sean and @Claire, so let me know if something just looks bad rather than fitting in with the folky, hand-drawn aesthetic.
