Slavický, Klement

Klement Slavicky (1910–1999) was a Czech music composer and teacher. He came from a musician family from Tovačov. His father was an organist, choirmaster and violinist. He graduated from the Prague Conservatory and continued his studies at the master school with Josef Suk. His music is emotionally engaged, trembling even in the quietest lyrical singing. It belongs to the most valuable legacy of Czech music of the second half of the twentieth century.
