The Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (pronounced /'dvoræk/) is a keyboard layout designed by Dr. August Dvorak and William Dealey in the 1920s and 1930s as an alternative to the more common QWERTY layout.
The Dvorak keyboard is often used as a standard example of network effects, particularly in economics textbooks, the other standard example being the competition between Betamax and VHS.
Dvorak also proposed an alternative ordering of the digits on the numbers row, 7-5-3-1-9-0-2-4-6-8, believing this arrangement to be more efficient.
Dvorak left the orchestra in 1871, when he was 30, in order to have more time for composition, but that meant that for a number of years his income was meager and primarily the result of teaching (and he did have a church job for three years beginning in 1874).
Dvorak rocketed to fame on the shoulders of his first set of Slavonic Dances, published in 1878; once these were overwhelmingly successful Simrock was always eager to publish more works by Dvorak, and once his music was published Dvorak did not need to work so hard to promote his music.
Dvorak's role was to be a figurehead for the conservatory and to see what he could do to help found a national school (in the larger sense) of composition.
