Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Vitězslav Novák (1870-1949)
Bio
Vitězslav Augustin Rudolf Novák was born in Southern Bohemia. Young Novák studied music as his family moved around until finally going off to Prague to enter the Conservatory. He studied composition under Dvořák and then Stecker but ultimately ended up in impressionism and modernism. He was politically active and did much for Czech national identity during the turmoil of his era.
