The first Bohemian composer to achieve worldwide recognition,Antonín Dvorák is the best known and world's most-played Czech composer of all times. His musical inventiveness was bottomless, and the beauty of his melodies unique. Dvorák was born in a Bohemian village, where his father was an inn-keeper and butcher. He became a leader in Czech musical nationalism, firmly within the classical traditions of Central Europe. His early musical training was followed by employment for some years as a violist and then by a life primarily devoted to composition. Dvorák won recognition abroad and rather more grudging acceptance in Vienna. Between 1892 and 1895, he spent some time in the United States of America as director of the new National Conservatory, a period that brought compositions that combine American and Bohemian influence. At home, again he was much honored, resisting invitations from Brahms to move to Vienna in favor of a simple life in his own country. He died in 1904, shortly after the first performances of his last opera, Armida.
