NOVAK, VITEZSLAV BIOGRAPHY

(1870 - 1949)

Vitezslav Novák was a fellow-student of Josef Suk in Dvorák's composition master-class at the Prague Conservatory. Discouraged by other teachers in Prague, he found renewed inspiration in the folk-music of Moravia and Slovakia, which strongly influenced his music. His piano tone-poem Pan, later orchestrated, represents Novák at the height of his powers.
