Vítězslav Novák
Vítězslav Augustín Rudolf Novák (5 December 1870 – 18 July 1949) was a Czech
composer and academic teacher at the
Prague Conservatory. Stylistically, he was part of the
neo-romantic tradition, and his music is considered an important example of Czech
modernism. He worked towards a strong Czech identity in culture after the country became independent in 1918. His compositions include operas and orchestral works.
