[edit] Did Dvorak write the Largo?

The article on Dvorak strongly implies that Dvorak originally wrote the "Largo" theme from the "New World Symphony."

   "...The theme from the largo was adapted into a spiritual-like song "Goin’ Home," by black composer Harry
  Burleigh..."

This article on Burleigh implies that Dvorak used a pre-existing melody for the Largo.

   ..."However, Burleigh's role in introducing Dvorak to African American folk music was substantial. It was written   
   that "The first time a Negro song became a major theme in a greatsymphonic work... was in 1893, when Antonín
   Dvorak's New World Symphony was played"
