Folk life in music is the living traditions currently practiced and passed along by word of mouth, imitation, or observation over time and space within groups, such as family, ethnic, social class, regional, and others. Everyone and every group has folklore.
The various melodies heard in Antonin Dvořák's "String Quartet in F Major" have a folk-like quality. There are some instances in this string quartet which are reminiscent of American, Slavonic, and other culture's folk music, meaning music sang and played within the groups of 'ordinary people.' It was written in the pentatonic scale which is common with folk music.
