Most people may know to go to All Music Guide if one is looking for a particular picece of music, group, album, or is just interested in the history.

In the US, one can purchase music on-line at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and others.

Another good place for music from Europ, which is not available in the US is -
Groove Unlimited

Groove is a great place to find out what's happening in the European music scene.

Symphony No. 6 in D Major, Op. 60. by Antonin Dvorák (1841-1904)

Four movements - the third and fourth movements are outstanding, especially the third which has some rather interesting progressions. The fourth movement has some complicated parts for young musicians, but they played superbly.
