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.: 155 He worked towards a strong Czech identity in culture after the country became independent in 1918. His compositions include operas and orchestral works. Source: Wikipedia (en)
