Vítězslav Novák

About this artist

Born 5 December 1870, Kamenice nad Lipou – died 18 July 1949, Skuteč.
Czech composer and pedagogue, almost singlehandedly founding a mid-century Czech school of composition. Stylistically, he was a leading figure in the Neo-Romanticism movement, and his music has been occasionally considered an early example of Czech modernism.
