Suk Fantastic Scherzo Op.25 (Full Score)

Josef Suk (1874 – 1935) was a Czech composer and violinist.  He studied under Antonín Dvořák, whose daughter, Otilie, he married.  Early studies were with his Father and included organ, piano and violin before attending the Prague Conservatory to continue his musical education where he became a pupil of Dvorak.  He formed the Czech Quartet with fellow students and remained a member for most of his life.  From 1922 he taught at the Conservatory in Prague where his pupils included Bohuslav Martinů.  His compositions offer a bridge between the harmonious nationalism of the 19th century and the atonality of the 20th century.
