(1) A sung lament or an instrumental piece generally of a ruminative nature. 2) A sung lament, usually in Polish or Ukrainian, strophic, in the minor key (sometimes modulating to the relative major), of a plaintive character and mostly in duple time. (3) An instrumental piece with a ruminative, often melancholy character, usually for chamber or solo instrumental forces. Instrumental dumky were written in the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century by composers from several northern and west Slavonic nations and contributed greatly to the dissemination of the term, which became a musical symbol of pan-Slavonicism; the most familiar examples are Czech, many of them by Dvořák)

He interpolated faster, cheerful passages, breaking up the prevailing melancholy mood, and his "Dumky" Piano Trio op. 90 consists of a string of six movements of this nature)
